This Indiana Simple Estate Planning Package provides essential documents for you to create a simple estate plan to ensure that your estate is handled properly in the event you become disabled, incapacitated, otherwise unable to manage you estate yourself, or pass away.  The documents in this Indiana Simple Estate Plan will:

• Provide how your assets, property and wealth will be distributed upon your death.
• Allow you to appoint a guardian for your children.
• Allow you to appoint an attorney-in-fact (with power of attorney) to manage your affairs in the event you are unable to do so.
• Allow you to appoint a health care attorney in fact and healthcare representative to make decisions about your medical care when you are unable to do so.
• Allow you make your wishes known regarding choosing or refuse life-prolonging procedures in the event that you develop a terminal condition and can no longer make your own medical decisions.

Without a simple estate plan in place, there is no way to ensure that your wishes and preferences are followed.

This Indiana Simple Estate Plan includes the following documents:

• Indiana Last Will and Testament (for Married individual, with or without children).
• Indiana Living Will Declaration.
• Indiana Durable Power of Attorney.
• Indiana Healthcare Power of Attorney (with optional appointment of Healthcare Representative).
• Indiana Life Prolonging Procedures Declaration.

By purchasing this package, a married couple will have the opportunity to create each document listed above for each spouse.

It should be noted that property which is owned via joint tenancy with a right of survivorship may not be distributed via an Indiana will, as such property will pass to the surviving joint tenant upon death. It should also be noted that an Indiana will not alter a beneficiary to a life insurance policy; such an alteration must be made directly with the insurance carrier itself.   This Indiana Last Will and Testament is not designed for a complex and/or large estate that may raise special tax considerations. This Indiana Last Will and Testament should be used only for a basic estate which is below the threshold for the payment of inheritance tax and where discretionary trusts and settlements would not be required.

Once you purchase this package, the documents referenced above will be available in your for your completion.  Once you complete the questionnaire for each document, you may download it immediately.  You will have the option of submitting each document for review by an attorney a single time.  You will also receive a memo explaining exactly what you should do with each of your Indiana Simple Estate Plan Documents and to make sure that each one is executed properly.
