With proper South Carolina estate planning, when you pass away, there will be some degree of control over how your assets are given to the people or organizations important in your life.
If you die without a proper estate plan, your family, charities and other beneficiaries can end up paying unnecessary (even exorbitant) taxes, court costs and legal fees.
This can eat up potentially large portions of the inheritance you have worked hard to provide.
To avoid this, you must have written instructions regarding who receives what and when they receive it.

Most of us think of parents' legal rights to make decisions for their children as a guardianship, but we expect adults to be able to make these decisions for themselves.
When there are circumstances out of the norm, another may need to become involved to provide for, and make decisions for children or adults.
This person is called a guardian, or a conservator.
For example, a child may inherit assets or an estate and need a guardian if there are no parents available.
The guardian would protect these until the child reaches adulthood.

Medicaid is a federal and state program that provides health coverage for certain people with limited income and assets.
Every state has different requirements and for different groups of people through Medicaid-funded programs.
Available services may include home health care, nursing homes, and long-term care, and there may be assistance for those who don't fall within these broad classifications.
Usually Medicaid programs are limited to those who meet eligibility guidelines, which vary state by state but usually are income / asset based.

A power of attorney involves at least two people, the first being the Principal - the one granting the power of acting on their behalf - and the agent, or attorney-in-fact - the one to whom that power is being granted.
Standard instances for the use of power of attorney include the principal's disability or illness, or when the principal cannot be present to sign required legal documents for financial transactions.
Careful and prudent thought should be given to who will be appointed power of attorney, as the agent will have legal authority to determine how to carry out issues such as the principal's property, finances and medical care.
