What does this mean for you?
Between Baby Boomers reaching senior citizenship, declining birthrates and longer lifespans, the United States will become a lot grayer over the next few decades. The U. S. Census Bureau projects that by 2035, there will be more adults age 65 and older than children for the first time in American history. By 2060, nearly a quarter of Americans will be age 65 and older, while the number of people age 85 and older will triple.
Chattanooga Estate Planning Attorney Nancy A. Cogar, Esq., can help you be best prepared for the new age of aging care with estate planning and elder law guidance.

What is estate planning?
And why do I need to do it?
Some people devote more time to planning a vacation, deciding which car to buy, or even researching the reviews to choose a restaurant to eat dinner than they do to estate planning – deciding who will inherit their assets after they’re gone. Without estate planning, you can’t choose who gets everything that you worked so hard for.
Estate planning isn’t only for the rich. Without a plan in place, settling your affairs after you go could have a long-lasting – and costly – impact on your loved ones, even if you don’t have a pricey home, large IRA, or valuable art to pass on. If you die without a will, which is a vital part of an estate plan, the courts will decide who gets your assets.
There are four key reasons why you should have a plan:
• Estate Planning allows you to choose who gets what
• Estate planning afford you the chance to name your children’s guardian in the event of your early death
• Estate planning reduces taxes on what you leave behind
• Estate planning minimizes the chances of family strife and ugly legal battles
Nancy A. Cogar, Esq., and her experienced team can help you protect your wealth and avoid potentially negative consequences for your heirs.
