Do All The Good You Can...

“Love your neighbor as yourself. (Love) continually incites us to do good: as we have time, and opportunity, to do good in every possible kind, and in every possible degree to all men.” ~John Wesley

When I was a teenager, I had the good luck of having a Boy Scout leader named Ed Hunter. A former Green Beret, he planned some amazing trips for us. I’ve hiked Half-Dome in Yosemite Valley, gone scuba diving with sharks off the Florida Keys, learned to canoe and sail, and spent countless weekends in the NJ Pine Barrens. For each trip we had a list of equipment to take.

One Winter trip a first timer brought a lightweight sleeping bag instead of a heavyweight one. It wasn’t his fault; he didn’t know the difference. He thought his bag would be good enough. Overnight he got hypothermia, and we had to take emergency measures to get him warm. It could have been bad.

Moving into old age is a lot like going on a trip into the wilderness. You’re a first timer and going to need certain tools to help you get through. The time to be sure they are right is before they are needed, even though they might not need for many years. Because when you need them, you need them, and it’s often too late to get the right ones.

Because Wills and Powers of Attorney are easy to access online, people obtain them, thinking what they have will serve them. By the time they realize they won't work, it’s too late. ?

We help a lot of people with Estate Planning documents. More specifically, the affiliated attorneys help people draft Estate Planning documents, the professional support staff facilitate the process and execution. These simple documents, when written well, are crucial in Medicaid Planning and positively impact families generationally. ?It’s our way of doing all the good we can.
