Hold On

“Quote Me on This” Prompt Challenge: I was given the quote “The best thing to hold onto in life is each other”. It appears in the mood board below and will be bolded in the story.

Fandom: The Royal Romance

Pairing: Riley & Drake, Liam & Olivia

Rating: MA

Warnings: Grief, mentions of death, mildly graphic details of injuries

Disclaimer: I am not a healthcare professional, all details of medical care and injuries are fictional dramatizations for the purposes of this story and I do not proclaim them to be accurate in real life.

Word Count: 3796 (sorry!)

A/N: After receiving multiple requests for a follow up to my Choices Prompt Challenge submission ‘Promise Me’ (read here), I decided to use this challenge to answer the call. If you haven’t read that one, this one won’t make much sense. There is a time jump between that story and this one, and this is long so I could wrap this up without turning it into a mini-series :)

A/N 2: I kept this in the first person from Riley’s POV in keeping with the style of ‘Promise Me’ but it does jump between present and past tense with Riley thinking back on the time between where that story ended and where she is now. Please forgive any errors in grammar or tense, as this is not my usual style.

“I’m sorry, Lucas. I really am, but I can’t come back yet…” I nod as if I’m on a video chat, but I know my boss can’t see me. “No, no…it’s fine. I understand and I appreciate you accommodating me as long as you have. I’ve loved my time with the firm and I’m grateful for the opportunity you gave me…Yes, thank you Lucas…you too.” When the line goes dead, my body shakes with the sob I’ve been holding in.

Outside it’s a rainy day but there is just enough light from the setting sun to allow me to catch my reflection in the window. In the mirrored image, the tears running down my cheeks blend with the raindrops on the window. Just beyond the glass, life goes on and the world moves forward, but inside these walls, I feel like time is standing still.

It’s been seven months since I returned to Cordonia and I’ve been trying to balance life back home with my need to be here. To say it isn’t going well would be an understatement.

For the first time in my life, I was just fired from a job or, ‘let go’, as Lucas had delicately put it. It should feel crushing to lose my dream job but honestly, I can’t blame them. My clients need and deserve an attorney and agent that can give them undivided attention and I can’t do that right now. I’ve been working remotely, filing motions, writing briefs, and negotiating contracts but I can’t provide that personal touch from thousands of miles away and when you’re dealing with athletes and actors like I am, that personal touch means everything.

I feel myself on the edge of a breakdown and I can’t allow myself to lose my shit right now; not here. Mere feet from where I stand, watching the sky weep with me, the man I love is lying in a bed, still fighting for his life. Machines beep as they monitor every aspect of his body and vitals, and the spikes on the brainwave monitor are all the proof I need that he can hear me, so losing it in front of him is not an option.

Moving to the far side of his bed, away from the monitors, I brush his chestnut brown hair away from his eyes and place a gentle kiss on his forehead. “You are in desperate need of a haircut, my love,” I whisper. “I love you. I’ll be right back.”

Across from me, the monitor beeps, registering another spike. It always does after I tell him I love him. While I long for nothing more than to hear his voice, I’ve started to think of the beeps as him saying ‘I love you too’.

Unable to fight the tears any longer I rush from the room, and head for my suite right next door. Most people would exploit their friendship with a king by asking for political favors or seeking personal gain but all I want is permission to stay here around the clock. Of course, I have a room at the palace too for those days where Liam insists that I need a break which was initially once a week but he has become more insistent more often recently.

My visits to the palace are bittersweet. I love spending time with Olivia and the kids but…I hate myself for the resentment I feel. I never let it show, it wouldn’t be fair to Liv. She is carrying around a hefty dose of survivors’ guilt as it is but…I can’t stop myself from thinking it.

Five minutes after I curl up on the bed and fall apart, my breakdown is interrupted by a knock on the door.

“Excuse me, Riley?” Dr. Hastings says, peeking his head in. I’m not pleased with the intrusion but I’m glad I’ve finally broken him of calling me Ms. Nevin.

“Hi Dr. Hastings,” I say, sitting up and wiping away my tears.

“Shift change is coming up, I just thought I’d give you a run-down of today’s tests and vitals.”

All I can do is nod my head and prepare myself to hear more of the same. I used to hold onto hope for each update but now that the physical wounds have healed and the threat of infection is gone, the updates are nothing more than a recitation of fluctuating brain activity and stable vitals.

I nod along, glassy-eyed as Dr. Hastings goes over the usual.

“I’m sorry, Riley. I know you’re hoping for big changes and progress,” he says, registering my disappointment. “But I continue to be encouraged by Drake’s brain activity. His mind is reacting to stimuli with more frequency.”

“Then why hasn’t he woken up?” I cry.

“I wish I had an answer for that,” he replied sadly. “All we can do is continue to push his body to respond in the same way his brain does. We’ve been seeing results. If you’d like to stay for tomorrow’s tests, you can see for yourself.

“No,” I shake my head, “I…I can’t.”

I used to stay for the tests but it’s terrifying and heartbreaking. The tests consist of weaning Drake off the ventilator gradually. His lungs do respond, and he attempts to breath on his own which I know is encouraging, but every so often he makes sounds like he’s choking or struggling, and I can’t handle it.

“I understand,” Dr. Hastings nods. “I hope you get some rest; I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Just as he turns to go, we are both surprised to see Liam entering my room.

“Riley, Dr. Hastings…good evening,” the king says. “Did I miss today’s update?”

Dr. Hastings bows. Though he finally uses my first name, he refuses to break protocol when it comes to royalty. “I’d be happy to go over it again, Your Majesty.”

“That won’t be necessary,” Liam replies. “I’m sure Riley can give me a run down.”

I nod, knowing that Liam can already tell by looking at me that nothing’s changed. With a final bow, Dr. Hastings departs and Liam takes a seat beside me on the bed.

“Rough day?”

“You have no idea,” I sigh.

“Why don’t you fill me in?”

“Well…for starters, I lost my job…”

“Oh, Riley…I’m so sorry.”

I shake my head. “Don’t be…I knew it was coming eventually. I’m surprised they worked with me this long. But, without an income, I’m going to have to put my condo on the market.”

“No, don’t do that. I can assist you in holding onto it.”

“I can’t take money from you Liam…”

“You wouldn’t be. Rashad is quite busy with Sloane Enterprises these days. I could use another contract attorney on my legal team to pick up the overflow work.”

“Liam…I’d be happy to help but I’m still selling the condo. There’s no reason to keep it and I can’t keep asking my dad to make the drive to Tampa to check on things for me. For now…my home is wherever Drake is,” I say, feeling the crushing weight of sadness again.

“I got the sense that Dr. Hastings didn’t have good news.”

I shrug. “It was the same as any other day, no better, no worse.

“This is to be expected when dealing with traumatic brain injury.”

“All the imaging shows his brain is healing,” I protest.

“Yes,” Liam nods, “which is all the more reason to be hopeful. You know how extensive his injuries were. I truly believe this coma is his body’s way of taking all the time it needs to heal. He’s been beating the odds since you got here.”

Logically, I know Liam is right. Drake’s body went through hell and on the night I arrived seven months ago, they didn’t expect him to make it beyond another twenty-four hours. The first time I walked into that room, Liam had to keep me on my feet; I could barely tell it was Drake in the bed.

On our flight from Philly to Cordonia, Liam had tried to tell me what to expect but it was a difficult conversation to get through and quite honestly nothing could have prepared me. I was shocked to learn that Drake had joined the guard. Liam had tried to convince him to finish his veterinary degree and refused to appointment him to the guard, but Drake didn’t want an appointment handed to him anyway. He earned his way in by joining the military; after two years of exemplary service, he earned the Cordonia Medal of Honor and his commanding officer recommended him for the guard. Drake was immediately assigned to head of Olivia’s detail. In true Olivia fashion, she had scared off all her previous guards and they hoped Drake could put up with her. I still can’t believe that those two managed to coexist as long as they did but Liam assures me they had become quite close.

I learned all about the Sons of the Earth and their leader, my former press secretary, Justin, AKA Anton Severus…his secret marriage to Olivia, his plots to kill Liam and take the throne, his death, and the rebel factions that carried on his evil legacy. Olivia had been relatively safe when he was alive because he needed her for his plan, but once he was gone and she was married to Liam, she became a target of the rebels.

Two days before Liam came to Hill Heights, a rebel uprising attacked Olivia’s motorcade on their way out of Lythikos and isolated the lead SUV. On a hunch, Drake had anticipated a possible attack and ordered Liv into one of the secondary vehicles with a whole team of guards while he rode lead with a decoy. A rendezvous point had been established as a contingency if the motorcade got separated. Off their plotted course, the lead car encountered a roadside bomb which flipped the car and sent it up in flames and the rebels riddled it with bullets before taking off. By all rights, no one should have survived but the driver managed to free himself and pull Drake out just before the car fully exploded and succumbing to his own injuries.

When they failed to arrive at the rendezvous point, Liv ordered all but the six men guarding her back to look for them. That’s when they found Drake and the driver on the side of the road, unconscious with life-threatening injuries, and the other two guards in the car, dead. Both men were airlifted to the Capitol where the race to save their life began. Drake had suffered a head injury from the blast and multiple gunshot wounds from the rebels’ indiscriminate firing spree. Two bullets struck major organs. Hours of surgery were required, and it was touch and go.

I can’t try to explain the extent of the injuries or even all that went into attempting to save him, but I do know he looked like he’d been to a war zone when I saw him. His skull was open to relieve the pressure on his brain, vacuum drains were attached to multiple wounds where they had opened him up to repair internal damage and remove bullet fragments, and his left leg was in a cast, suspended by a sling above the bed. Looking at him now, you’d never know any of that. There is a thin scar on his head where hair still won’t grow but it’s hidden by his full head of hair around it, and he of course has scars from the bullet wounds, but they are hidden by his clothes. Just looking into his room, aside from the ventilator, you might think he’s just asleep, but…he’s not waking up.

“Are you headed back over to sit with him?” Liam asks, pulling me back to the present.

“In a few minutes,” I sigh. “I came here to have my daily breakdown. Ever since the nurse told me he shows signs of distress when he hears me cry, I try not to do it in front of him.”

Liam takes my hand giving it a reassuring squeeze. “You must try to focus on the positive, Riley…he hears you.”

“How are you so optimistic after all this time?”

“A well-crafted facade, I assure you. I have breakdowns too, but I try to be strong…for you, for Liv…”

“How is she?” I ask.

“You should ask her yourself, she’s right next door.”

I gasp in surprise. “She’s here?” Olivia hasn’t come to the hospital since Emily was born. Of course, having a baby keeps her busy, but Liam and I know it goes beyond that. Liv feels responsible for what happened and the guilt that she carries makes seeing Drake difficult for her.

“Yes, she asked to come. I decided to give her some time with him by coming in to check on you. Fabian and Emily are across the hall in the family suite with the nanny if you wish to pop in to see them. I’m going to go sit with Olivia, join us whenever you are ready.”

Visits with Fabian and Emily always bring a smile to my face, even on hard days…especially on hard days. I pop in for hugs and snuggles before joining Liam and Olivia.

“Riley,” Olivia exclaims. Rising from her seat she pulls me into a hug. I’m still trying to get used to an Olivia who hugs.

“Hi Liv, it’s good to see you.”

“Of course it is,” she quips. Motherhood has softened her, but she hasn’t lost her wit. “So, tell me…what updates did this inept medical staff have to share today?” she asks.

“Not much,” I sigh, “small progress like every other day.”

“What more can we do?” she says, turning to Liam. “We need to bring in a new medical team, the best of the best.”

“My Queen, I assure you, Drake’s team is the best Cordonia has to offer.”

“Then look outside Cordonia,” she snaps.

I can hear the anxiety in her voice. She’s here but she’s still struggling and taking charge is her coping mechanism.

“Liv, I am more than willing to bring in more doctors, I’d scour the globe for the best but…his care is not up to me. Any decision to change doctors has to come from Savannah or Bianca.”

“They’re both twits,” Olivia retorts. “Bianca can’t even be bothered to come here.”

“After what happened to Jackson, can you blame her?”

“You’re damn right I can! That’s no excuse not to be at your son’s side…your child! But what would she know about that…she abandoned them.”

Drake’s monitor starts to beep, and my eyes jump to the screen. I know what to look for and his elevated blood pressure is a sure sign that our conversation is affecting him. “Liv…we should take this somewhere else.”

Olivia frowns and I see the tears welling in her eyes. “I’m sorry…I’m…” Going to Drake’s side, she takes his hand and leans down to his ear. “I’m sorry…I’ll stop. Please calm down…I just want you to get better.”

I’ve never heard her speak in such a calming tone and to my surprise, Drake’s vitals slowly return to normal levels.

Liam looks at me with hopeful eyes. “That’s a direct response to stimuli if I ever saw one!”

I nod, unable to speak as I fight back tears. Liam comes to my side and pulls me into an embrace. “I’ll speak to Savannah but in the meantime, we will leave you two in peace.”

Olivia gives me another hug before they leave the room hand in hand.

Taking the seat beside Drake, I wrap my hand around his, rest my head on his shoulder, and settle in for our nightly talk. Having a one-sided conversation felt awkward at first. In the early days I did little more than tell him I love him and beg him to hold on. I’ve gotten used to it now and talk as much as I can, hoping my voice will pull him from whatever darkness he’s trapped in.

“Everyone wants you to get better, but no one more than me. I’m trying to be patient but it’s so hard, baby,” I cry. “Every minute of those four years without you, I felt like I wasn’t really living…I built a life and moved forward but something was always missing…you. And now I’ve been by your side for seven months, which is where I belong but…I still feel that void because you won’t wake up. We’ve lost so much time already…I’m…I’m so sorry I left. Even when you said you couldn’t be with me, I should have stayed…I should have fought for us. Going our separate ways was never the answer, Drake. We held onto the guilt we felt over falling in love, we held onto the pain we had cause Liam, we held onto all our own insecurities, and we let it drive us apart. By holding onto the bad, we missed the bigger picture, we failed to see that the best thing to hold onto in life is each other. I’m holding on now, Drake…I’m here and I am in this for good. I love you with every fiber of my being and I can’t…I won’t…live a life without you in it. I need you to come back to me baby.” As my tears fall against the soft fabric of his hospital gown, I hear that beep and feel a mild sense of peace as I doze off at his side.

I wake in the morning to the blazing sun shining on my face and the sound of voices carrying into the room from the hall. In a normal hospital, it wouldn’t be unusual, but in the private royal wing where Drake is the only patient, it’s not something I’m used to hearing. Rising from my chair, I decide to go investigate, surprised to see Liam and Savannah having a passionate conversation as Dr. Hastings and the head nurse, Holly, look on.

“Savannah, you must see reason…I have complete faith in Dr. Hastings, but a second opinion could make all the difference. I have a world-renowned neurological team on standby, ready to come to Cordonia. You haven’t been here, you haven’t seen his progress.”

“Liam, you have to understand how hard it is for me to see my brother like that! Being here everyday would be torture; I don’t know how you and Riley do it. But I have been in constant contact with Dr. Hastings and I get the same updates you do. I understand the small progress gives you hope but that’s all it is…small progress. I can’t just go on blind faith, Liam, I have to do what’s best for my brother…for all of us, and allowing him to hang in a medical limbo is not a life.”

I see the tears falling from Liam’s eyes, he makes no effort to hide them. “What are you saying, Savannah?”

“I’m saying…I’m saying I think it’s time we let him go,” Savannah replies, breaking down in sobs.

“NO,” I scream, charging toward her filled with anguish and rage. Liam wraps me in his arms to keep me from reaching her. “You can’t do that! I won’t let you do that.”

“It’s not your decision to make, Riley. I’m sorry.”

“You’re sorry? That’s all you can say?” I yell, giving into my rage. Savannah looks terrified of me, and she should be. I sob, struggling against Liam’s hold on me, barely registering the sound of machines over my own yelling. “You ran away and left him to worry about you for over a year, but he never stopped looking for you. He never gave up! How the hell can you justify giving up on him now?”

“It’s not giving up, it’s mercy,” she cries.

“No, please, no Savannah, don’t do this…don’t do this, please,” I wail as my knees give out.

“Look what this is doing to her…to me…” Liam cries as he struggles to hold me up. “Look what it will do to everyone that loves him…Savannah, please…”

“Do you think this is easy for me?” she cries. “I love him too.”

“Then give him more time, that’s all I ask. Let me bring in another medical team. Don’t do this…”

“Liam, I have t…”

“LET ME GO, I HAVE SOMEWHERE TO BE!”

My heart feels like it is going to beat out of my chest the moment the shouted words echo through the corridor, drowning out our own voices and cries. I know that voice, I’d know it anywhere. Looking around I finally see Dr. Hastings and Holly are gone. Ripping at Liam’s hands, I free myself from his hold and race back to Drake’s room.

“I have somewhere to be, you have to let me go…I have somewhere to be!”

“Drake?” I gasp, paralyzed and frozen in place from shock. I watch as Dr. Hastings, Holly, and two other nurses struggle to restrain Drake and I can’t tell if it’s real or just my mind’s trauma response to my fight with Savannah.

“He was awake when we responded to the alarms,” Dr. Hastings explains. “We managed to get him extubated, but he’s agitated and disoriented.”

I try to make sense of what I’m hearing but I feel like I am in a daze. “Drake?” I cry again.

“Nevin? Nevin!” Drake shouts, ripping at his IV’s and fighting against the doctors’ hold.

The sound of my name from his lips breaks me from my trance. “No, no, no,” I rush forward, full of longing to touch him and convince myself this is real.

“If he can’t calm down, we’ll need to sedate him,” Dr. Hastings says.

“No, No,” I shake my head, sitting down on Drake’s bed. Clutching his hands in one of mine, I bring my other hand to his cheek. “Calm down…you have to calm down.”

Drake shakes his head, disoriented and trying to talk between coughing fits. “I needed to get to you…to the cemetery…I needed…”

I wrap my arms around him, and I feel the tension roll off his body as he relaxes into me. “I’m here, I’m here…” I soothe, running my fingers through his hair.

“How? When?” he asks as his body starts to shake with sobs. “What happened?”

I pull back and cup his cheeks. “Don’t worry about that right now,” I whisper, placing a gentle kiss on his lips. “I’m here, and I love you, and right now, you just need to stay calm and let the doctors check you out.”

Drake returns my kiss fervently before feathering kisses all over my face and pulling me desperately into his arms. “Hold on to me…hold on to me…” he mutters as he cries.

“I will, Drake…I will…and I promise, I’m never letting go.”

Estate Planning Attorney Alpine Utah

When considering estate planning, many people can procrastinate without understanding the consequences of their delay. No one is truly comfortable thinking about what happens in the case of injury, disability, or even death, especially if young children are involved. However, one of the best ways to achieve peace of mind is to have a complete estate plan in place to make sure your family is taken care of when the time comes.

There are some primary documents when it comes to estate planning, ranging from a Will to a Power of Attorney. Laws can vary by state, so it’s important to have each document drawn up by a local attorney who’s familiar with each state’s regulations and guidelines.

Will In Alpine Utah

The Will is what many people think in terms of complete estate planning. This document primarily addresses three important questions, but only comes into effect upon one’s death. First, it designates who controls the administration of one’s estate after someone passes away. Second, it establishes who receives the assets. Third, it designates legal guardians and conservators to handle the medical and financial decisions if there are any surviving minors. This document is vital in securing the foundation of your final matters if you do not have a Revocable Living Trust.

Power of Attorney: Medical and Financial

There are two main types of power of attorney documents everybody needs: a Financial Power of Attorney and a Medical Power of Attorney. These two documents are only effective while one is alive. They grant a person control of financial and medical affairs in the case of disability, a coma, or any circumstance that would prevent you from making your own decisions. Each document helps prevent the expense of a court proceeding to determine who is allowed to manage your financial and medical decisions when you are unable to do so.

Living Will

The Living Will, also known as an advanced medical directive, is used to officially state, in advance, whether one wants to refuse or terminate the use of artificial life support should the situation arise. This document also allows an individual to state in advance whether he or she should receive food and water in the event the Living Will is in effect. By establishing your desires in advance, it helps remove such burden from your family’s shoulders.

Living Trust

A Living Trust, also known as a revocable trust or revocable living trust, is an alternative to the standard Will. It is a tremendously flexible document that can provide for the management of one’s assets while alive and upon his or her passing. This method of estate planning enables exceptional control over one’s assets. If drafted properly, it limits or eliminates certain taxes and offers a tremendous degree of asset protection for one’s heirs should they ever gets divorced or has other creditor problems.

What to Do With Estate Planning Documents In Alpine Utah

Many people are unsure what to do with their Wills and other Estate Planning Documents after they have them created. The documents generally sit around in a file without anyone knowing of their existence. This is exactly the wrong thing to do. Your Will is the document which tells how your property should be divided after your death. Every individual person should have his or her own. A married couple should have 2 wills among them rather than just a single will. After fully executing your Will according to state law where you live, you should be certain to let your loved-ones know of its existence and where to find it. You do not need to let them read it, but they should know how to get access to the document. It is highly recommended that it should be kept it in a fireproof box or safe in your home or perhaps in a safe deposit box. It needs to be protected from fire, flood, and other potential disasters. If an unfortunate disaster ends up being your demise, you want your Will to survive that disaster to ensure your wishes are carried out.

Powers of Attorney are documents which give trusted individuals the legal authority to make decisions for you in the event that you are incapacitated. It is highly recommended having two separate documents, a Medical Power of Attorney and a Statutory (or Durable) Power of Attorney. The Medical Power of Attorney gives the named person the ability to make medical decisions for you if you are incapacitated (for instance in a coma). The person named in the Medical Power of Attorney should be someone who is good under pressure and someone you trust to make good medical decisions for you. You should also discuss generally with this person your wishes. The Durable or Statutory Power of Attorney is also a document giving legal authority to someone in the event that you cannot perform on your own, but this document revolves around finances. If you are in a coma or otherwise legally incompetent, you need someone with the ability to pay your bills and access your bank accounts. That is exactly what this document does. In both cases, the people you designate as your agents in these Powers of Attorney should be given a copy of the documents to keep in their possession. This is so that they can easily access the documents and provide proof of their authority quickly and easily if it is ever necessary. You should also keep the original in your possession in a safe place. It is advisable to keep them with your Will.

The last Estate Planning document which most people have is a Living Will. The Living Will is a document which defines your desires if you are incapacitated and need life-sustaining treatment. It tells your doctor whether or not you wish to be placed on life support if you are in a terminal condition. Your doctor should maintain a copy of your Living Will in your medical records. You should also keep a copy of this document with your will. It is extremely important to be prepared for your death. Although it is a difficult topic to consider, it is something each and every one of us is going to face. Being prepared today will help your family in a difficult time because there will be fewer things to worry about. You have already written your wishes on paper. The Powers of Attorney can also help eliminate costly and lengthy legal battles for which there is no time when your life is at stake.

Where To Keep Your Estate Planning Documents When They Are Completed

As important as it is to make your estate planning documents such as a will or living trust and pour over will, durable powers of attorney, and healthcare powers of attorney is where to keep those documents. Finding a safe secure place to keep your estate planning documents is very important for the fact that those documents are no good if they are destroyed, lost, or missing.

Alpine Utah have laws that support that a missing or lost will is presumed to be destroyed or revoked or no longer any good, unless there is evidence presented otherwise. This is difficult to overcome so it is very important to keep your documents in place they cannot be lost or destroyed. This safe place could be a safety deposit box in a bank or in a fire proof safe in your house. A safe should only include important documents and no valuables so a potential thief will not be tempted to take it. It is best to let the person you selected as a personal representative in the will and the backup personal representative know where the will is located so they can retrieve it at the proper time. It is not a good idea to let anyone else know who you do not completely trust because they may attempt to destroy or alter it if it is in their interest. There should be one original will and copies should be kept separate.

Keeping your estate planning documents is almost as important as making them in the first place. If you go to the effort of making an estate plan it is important to make sure that the plan is carried out and the best way to do this is through making sure that your documents can be found. This means that you should inform the person you intend to carry out your estate as an executor or personal representative can actually locate the documents when they are needed. You should tell only a trusted person where they are located so the wrong person does not find them, but also that the right person will be able to locate them when the time is right. A hidden will or living trust that is not found is the same as have no documents at all. A good hiding place is good but too good of a hiding place will prevent the documents from being found at all.

How Estate Planning Lawyers Alpine Utah Can Help You

When you are ready to start your estate planning papers you will need to be thorough and precise as one misconstrued word or a missing initial can change the entire meaning of your estate documents. Your local and state laws are very technical as to who you can have represent your interests in your estate planning documents as well as your power of attorney. There are even stipulations on who can witness your signature.

The laws vary from state to state and one wrong word can make your estate papers null and void. This is why you should entrust the help of viable estate planning lawyers to oversee your legal rights. If you think that you can go online and get a living will or other estates documents and they will be valid and legally binding then you are in for a huge disappointment. Most of the do it yourself documents are a “one size fits all” and you very well know your life is your own and “one size fits all” is not conducive to your situation. It will be your family that will be left behind with no way to enforce your last wishes.

Organizing Your Estate

You will need to let your estate planning lawyers know what you want to happen with your estate when you are no longer alive. You should let someone know where you will put your copies of your power of attorney, insurance papers, living will and any codes or keys to your bank safe deposit box. You should also have extra copies of all of your important documents in a fire proof box as well as all of the original documents on file at your estates lawyer’s office.

Please look at the information below to see which items pertain to your unique situation. • You have never had any children • You have children under 15 years of age • You have property that you own in more than one state. • You own a business • You want to leave a portion of your estate to a charity

If any of these statements pertain to your personal situation then you will need estate planning lawyers to make sure that your assets and last wishes are carried out exactly as you want them to be. If you do not use a professional you may end up making your family go through probate and it may take away resources from your family.

DIY Estate Planning

As the recession deepens, more Americans are trading high priced attorneys for DIY estate planning kits online. Yet despite the appealing cost, do online estate planning kits really have what it takes to protect your children, assets or wishes should something happen to you? An Alpine Utah estate planning attorney cuts through the hype to reveal when you can go it alone and when DIY planning is a financial disaster in disguise.

Alpine Utah – Who needs a $300 an hour estate planning lawyer when you can buy an entire DIY will kit online for under $100? That’s the question most Utahans find themselves asking lately, as the creation of computer generated wills, trusts and other estate planning documents make DIY planning seem like a very budget-savvy choice. Yet do these documents really hold weight in the Utah probate courts and will they truly protect your children, assets or wishes should the unthinkable happen? It depends. Certainly someone with no children and assets under $100,000 could possibly benefit from DIY estate planning. The real problem, though, is that you don’t know what you don’t know and like anything in life, one size rarely fits all. In the case of estate planning, one simple mistake can cost your family thousands of dollars and years of headaches if death or incapacity unexpectedly occurs.

So what situations warrant meeting with a qualified estate planning professional over a budget-friendly kit online? Consider the following: 1. You’ve been divorced or remarried- DIY kits rarely take into account the complexities of divorce, remarriage or having children from a previous marriage. Without proper guidance, a mistake in this area could cause a number of problems, including a spouse losing out financially to a child from a previous marriage (as was the case with Ana Nicole Smith) or the disinheritance of children. 2. You have children- If you review documents from a popular online will kit you will often find boilerplate language stating that future children were disinherited under the plan. This really shows just how dangerous these kids can be for parents with minor children. DIY kits also fail to advise parents of the best way to leave an inheritance to their children, thus setting the stage for money problems down the road. 3. You’re in an alternative living situation- Gays, lesbians and life-partners should always meet with a qualified professional when planning for their death or incapacity. Unfortunately, the laws are not on the side of people in non-traditional relationships, so you should always get professional guidance to ensure your family stays protected physically and financially should tragedy strike. 4. You have a special needs child- Parents of special needs children must be extremely cautious when using DIY estate planning kits online. Many parents fail to realize that leaving money outright to a special needs child can jeopardize their ability to qualify for Medicaid or other benefits in the future. Such kits fail to properly advise parents of guardianship issues and other ways to make sure their child is properly cared for in their absence. It only takes one tiny oversight in a DIY estate plan to cause the entire thing to backfire, or even become null and void in Georgia or in other states. And of course, by the time people realize such a problem exist, it’s often too late to go back or costs a fortune to fix.
