Re: A will and power of attorney

I would very stronly recommend that your Husband write his Last Will and Testament to avoid problems later. A Health Care Power of Attorney, Durable Power of Attorney and a Living Will should also be considered.

Many persons often forget the importance of all legal documents until the need arises and then it is often too late. You should immediately consult with a qualified attorney to have the proper instruments drafted for your Husband.

If your husband is able to execute a Will, then I strongly suggest that he do so. There are other ways to be certain that assets be transferred to the desired person without worrying about complications later. This would include, joint ownership and beneficiaries.
