If you are ready to retire, want to exit one business deal so that you may pursue another or simply want to transfer part of your stake in a Minnesota business to another individual, you have several options for doing so. Each comes with its own merits and pitfalls, each of which you should inform yourself of before making any final decisions.
Why you need a health proxy and how to choose an agent
A health care proxy, or health care directive, is a document that names a person, or proxy, who expresses another person’s wishes and makes health care decisions on that person’s behalf if he or she is unable to do so him or herself. One does not have to be terminally ill to create a health care directive in Minnesota, and in fact, one should not wait until he or she has received a terminal diagnosis to follow through with such an important task as selecting a health care agent.
Cryptocurrency and your estate plan
People include many different types of assets in their estate plans, and in the digital age, there may be additional considerations for you to go over when it comes to estate planning. For example, you may have invested a significant amount of money in a cryptocurrency, or you may have been an early investor who has acquired a great deal of wealth through cryptocurrency. Some cryptocurrency investors may be unsure of their responsibilities or some of the legal matters that can arise due to these assets, from tax matters to ensuring that assets are managed properly in the event that the owner passes away.
