Estate Planning Resource GuideEstate Planning using a FREE Peace of Mind BookThis is a great estate planning resource guide and I bet you can find one from your own state too! The Michigan Legislature publishes a "Do-It-Yourself Guide to Medical and Legal Decisions" called PEACE OF MIND. It's a free publication for Michigan residents... call your State Representative for a copy or download it here This publication won't answer all of your estate planning questions, and it's not for all states, but I bet most states also have a guide like this. It does have a great personal records form adn medical/prescription records form that you can use where ever you live. You can always try a google search for your state -- maybe "Peace of Mind book for Iowa", or "Free Guide to Medical and Legal Decisions in Iowa"... who knows, you might find one that applies directly to where you live, like the document for Iowa that I found on Google (above). The Michigan book contains a few important fill in the blank forms like: Personal Records - this is a great form so that your family can locate important paperwork in the event you are ill or die. You will record mortgage information, health information, life insurances, military insurance, social security, pension records, and financial records. What a comfort to know your life is in order and recorded so that your family can find it easily. Michigan Statutory Will - If you don't have a large estate, and your desires are relatively simply, you can complete this fill-in-the-blank will in Michigan. Technically, in Michigan, a hand written will (holographic will) is legal. You can write on simple paper what your wishes are, and your estate would be distributed by the court as you request.
