Book excerpt: From Davenport Publishing and written by attorneys this book covers "Estate Planning" which is doing legal documents to later control health care, property, money, children, and funeral if absent, sick, or dead. Estate Planning seems complex but mostly is person doing documents to control things in 3 areas: a) After Death, b) Health Care, and c) Giving Power. There are 9 Kentucky legal forms in this book and for free download at www.davenportpublishing.com, which are: - - AFTER DEATH FORMS - - 1. Last Will And Testament (Standard) - this Will lets person control some things after their death like gifts of property and money, say who is Executor, and allowing some easier legal options to be used later. 2. Last Will And Testament (Guardians) - this is Will with parts added to name person as "Guardian" to if needed care for minor child under 18, and also person to care for their estate and property. 3. Handwritten Will - this Will skips the usual 2 witnesses which saves time and work, but it must be handwritten by person doing Will. 4. Self-Proving Affidavit - done with Will to help later work of showing Will was properly signed. - - HEALTH CARE FORMS - - 5. Living Will Directive And Health Care Surrogate Designation - this popular form lets person in case needed later name a "Health Care Surrogate" to control health care (this is often called a "Health Care Power Of Attorney" form), and also do a "Living Will" part to say stop certain health care if later doctors think health situation is very bad and more care likely won't help. 6. Do Not Resuscitate Order - says to immediately from now on do not give C.P.R. to try to restart heart or breathing, and this short form can be read fast and is often used outside hospital or similar place (also provided is similar Medical Orders For Scope Of Treatment form saying to not give other treatments). - - GIVING POWER FORMS- - 7. Durable Power Of Attorney - lets power over money, property, and more be shared in life with person named "Agent" who often is family or friend so they have legal power to do things. 8. Standard Power Of Attorney For Medical / School Decision Making - lets parent of minor child under 18 give power to person so they can make decisions on child's health care, school, and more. 9. Funeral Planning Declaration - lets person be named to control funeral and related issues, usually done if person doesn't want closest family like spouse to do this as law says is normal. Also provided is an Estate Planning Helpful Information form so family and friends can be told about property, money, and other things.
