Speaking of End of Life Choices

January 8, 2014 by Anthony Moccia Leave a Comment

It is incredibly difficult to raise the topic of end of life considerations. At some point, someone will have to broach the subject, even if Mom or Dad have already made all of the necessary arrangements. It’s far different than retirement topics; these conversations have to do with funeral and burial arrangements, do not resuscitate orders, powers of attorney for medical decisions – the really tough topics. If you think about it and the mindset we’re in when we plan for retirement, it’s one … [Read more...] about Speaking of End of Life Choices

Estate Planning For Same Sex Couples

October 1, 2010 by Anthony Moccia Leave a Comment

The primary reason why it is important to have an estate plan in place, whether you have significant assets or not, is to ensure that your wishes are carried out in the manner that you choose. If you don't record your wishes, the state is left to decide who will make health care decisions in your behalf should you become incapacitated.
