All Flying and Fun at the Panguitch Valley Balloon Rally PANGUITCH - Friday morning of the Panguitch Valley Balloon Rally was a beautiful, still beginning for the festival. Almost 30 Balloons and their crews got ready and launched around 6:30 am. The ubiquitous Deanna Moore, Balloon Festival Director, did such a wonderful job and was seemingly unflappable as the questions and problems rolled in and were handled without her batting an eye. Panguitch has a treasure with both this gorgeous festival and in the volunteers and crews that pull it all together under her watchful eye. The balloons were launched by the ballfields, and for the next hour and a half they wafted over the valley as the sun rose, lighting up the farms and fields. The rest of the day was filled with various activities throughout town. Every store was open with a sale going on and the vendor street was back-to-back with canopied stalls with vendors from all over the country. Panguitch also brought out the big guns with lots of games and rides for kids. Every single volunteer was cheerful, informative and kind. Nice work Panguitch Main Street! —Kandee DeGraw

His presentation will take place at Escalante High School Auditorium, Thursday, July 7 at 7pm. ESCALANTE - Just think about your favorite recent animated movie. The imagery and action were so clever and seamless. There you were, effortlessly swept away into a new world. But did you ever wonder, “How do they do that?” An upcoming presentation by a designer from one of the country’s top animation studios will shed light on some of the tricks behind the wonderful, amazing and fantastic things you see in cutting-edge animated film-
making. Micah Henrie is a Visual Effects Technical Director at Laika Studios in Portland, Oregon, where he has been working for nearly a decade. Laika Studios is the premier stop motion animation studio in the country, with Academy Award nominated masterpieces including Coraline, ParaNorman, and The Boxtrolls.

Henrie will share the combination of technology and painstaking effort that go into making top-quality stop motion animation during his presentation at Escalante’s High School Auditorium, on Thursday, July 7, at 7pm. “What I plan to do is break downs of the movies— of how each shot is made what is shot with the camera and what is created digitally and how they are put together,” said Henrie. Henrie added that he will go through the process of how the puppets are made, rapid proto-typing, 3d printing, and Laika Animation Cont'd on page 2

things like ‘facial replacement’ a technique that landed Laika Studios a technical Oscar this past year. “I’ll get into shot breakdowns—all the different pieces that go into making shots, smoke, fire debris, and multiple characters, “ All the good stuff. Henrie is the son of Dale and Marty Henrie of Escalante, and regularly shares his “behind the scenes” presentation with civic and school groups. Studio animation being such a rarefied world, one might wonder, how did he get into this line of work? “In school, I was kind of wrestling between the art track and the more technical track like programming, and just ended up finding jobs, these technical director type jobs that were a good mix of the tech and the artistic,” says Henrie. Henrie’s mother, Marty, says that while Micah was growing up in Danville, California, her husband Dale served as a scout leader, and one of the fun projects he’d do with his son’s troop was stop
motion animation with Legos. Reminding us that once again, you never know what will serve as a valuable source of inspiration. In spite of a receiving a full ride scholarship in the field of chemical engineering, Henrie continued on the art track, receiving his BFA in Illustration from BYU where he also studied Computer Science. At Laika, Henrie develops software and CG tools that help the Visual Effects team bring scale, magic, and order to the immensely challenging production of stop motion animated films. Before coming to Laika, he spent several years in Los Angeles working as a Lighting Director and Lighting Technical Director on films such as Scooby Doo 2, Garfield, The Ring Two, and Charlotte's Web. When Micah is not working on movies, he is spending time with his family, developing iOS apps, and creating art. Micah Henrie will present Behind the Scenes at Laika Animation Studio, Thursday, July 7 at 7pm at the EHS Auditorium. —Insider
WASHINGTON, D.C. The U.S. Department Agriculture (USDA) has announced cooperative agreements with 55 partners to educate farmers and other producers that have been underserved by USDA programs historically about Farm Service Agency (FSA) programs that provide financial, disaster or technical support. Nearly $2.5 million will go to nonprofits, associations, universities, and foundations that will provide training and information on agricultural best practices, local networking opportunities, and more. “We’re always working to find new ways for our programs to reach more producers and create more jobs in agriculture,” said FSA Administrator Val Dolcini. “The organizations selected as part of this effort share USDA’s priority of helping more Americans build successful farms and ranches.” FSA, which solicited applications last fall, received nearly 100 proposals that requested over $9 million in funding. Cooperative agreements, encompassing more than 28 states, will be between $20,000 and $75,000 each and several involve multistate or national efforts. A list of awardees can be found at www.fsa.usda.gov/outreach. FSA also announced today that it is accepting proposals for consideration in the second evaluation period. Applications are due no later than July 11, 2016. Projects not selected during the first evaluation period will be reconsidered during the second period. Additional information on the funding solicitation and the related FSA programs can be found at www.grants.gov using reference number USDA-FSA-CA-2016-001. For nonprofits and public institutions of higher education that are considering participation, a recording of the online informational session held with stakeholders is posted on the web at www.fsa.usda.gov/outreach. USDA is also helping producers find an entry into farming through urban agriculture opportunities and the increasing consumer demand for locally-produced items.

Under this Administration, USDA has invested more than $1 billion in over 40,000 local and regional food businesses and infrastructure projects. USDA is committed to helping farmers, ranchers, and businesses access the growing market for local and regional foods, which was valued at $12 billion in 2014 according to industry estimates. More information on how USDA investments are connecting producers with consumers and expanding rural economic opportunities is available in Chapter IV of USDA Results on Medium. Since 2009, USDA has worked to strengthen and support American agriculture, an industry that supports one in 11 American jobs, provides American consumers with more than 80 percent of the food we consume, ensures that Americans spend less of their paychecks at the grocery store than most people in other countries, and supports markets for homegrown renewable energy and materials. USDA has also provided $5.6 billion of disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; expanded risk management tools with products like to Whole Farm Revenue Protection; and helped farm businesses grow with $36 billion in farm credit. USDA has engaged its resources to support a strong next generation of farmers and ranchers by improving access to land and capital; building new markets and market opportunities; extending new conservation opportunities; offering appropriate risk management tools; and increasing our outreach, education, and technical support including 102,000 direct and guaranteed farm operating and ownership loans. USDA has also provided more than 18,000 microloans totaling over $406 million since the program began in January 2013. Nearly 89 percent of microloans, or more than $363 million, were used by new, beginning and underserved farmers to grow their farming operations.

USDA Offers Targeted Farm Loan Funding for Underserved Groups and Beginning Farmers SALT LAKE CITY USDA Utah Farm Service Agency (FSA) Executive Director, Mark Gibbons, reminds producers that FSA offers targeted farm ownership and farm operating loans to assist underserved applicants as well as beginning farmers and ranchers. "Each year, a portion of FSA's loan funds are set aside to lend to targeted underserved and beginning farmers and ranchers," said Gibbons. "Farming and livestock production are capital intensive business ventures and FSA is committed to helping producers start, expand and maintain their agricultural operations." USDA defines underserved applicants as a group whose members have been subjected to racial, ethnic, or gender prejudice because of their identity as members of the group without regard to their individual qualities. For farm loan program purposes, targeted underserved groups are women, African Americans, American Indians and Alaskan Natives, Hispanics and Asians and Pacific Islanders. Underserved or beginning farmers and ranchers who cannot obtain commercial credit from a bank can apply for either FSA direct loans or guaranteed loans. Direct loans are made to applicants by FSA. Guaranteed loans are made by lending institutions who arrange for FSA to guarantee the loan. FSA can guarantee up to 95 percent of the loss of principal and interest on a loan. The FSA guarantee allows lenders to make agricultural credit available to producers who do not meet the lender's normal underwriting criteria.
“During fiscal year 2015, Utah FSA obligated $39 million in loans to assist 394 targeted underserved and beginning producers,” said Gibbons. The direct and guaranteed loan program provides for two types of loans: farm ownership loans and farm operating loans. Farm ownership loan funds may be used to purchase or enlarge a farm or ranch, purchase easements or rights of way needed in the farm's operation, build or improve buildings such as a dwelling or barn, promote soil and water conservation and development and pay closing costs. Farm operating loan funds may be used to purchase livestock, poultry, farm equipment, fertilizer, and other materials necessary to operate a successful farm. Operating loan funds can also be used for family living expenses, refinancing debts under certain conditions, paying salaries for hired farm laborers, installing or improving water systems for home, livestock, or irrigation use and other similar improvements. In addition to customary farm operating and ownership loans, FSA now offers Microloans through the direct loan program. The focus of Microloans is on the financing needs of small, beginning farmer, niche and non-traditional farm operations, such as truck farms, farms participating in direct marketing and sales such as farmers’ markets, CSA’s (Community Supported Agriculture), restaurants and grocery stores, or those using hydroponic, aquaponic, organic and vertical growing methods. Microloans are available for both ownership and operating finance needs. To learn more about microloans, visit www.
fsa.usda.gov/microloans. Repayment terms for direct operating loans depend on the collateral securing the loan and usually run from one to seven years. Financing for direct farm ownership loans cannot exceed 40 years. Interest rates for direct loans are set periodically according to the Government's cost of borrowing. Guaranteed loan terms and interest rates are set by the lender. To qualify as a beginning producer, the individual or entity must meet the eligibility requirements outlined for direct or guaranteed loans. Additionally, individuals and all entity members must have operated a farm for less than 10 years. Applicants must materially or substantially participate in the operation. For farm ownership purposes, the applicant must not own a farm greater than 30 percent of the average size farm in the county at the time of application. All direct farm ownership applicants must have participated in the business operations of a farm for at least three years out of the last 10 years prior to the date the application is submitted. If the applicant is an entity, all members must be related by blood or marriage and all entity members must be eligible beginning farmers. For more information on FSA’s farm loan programs and targeted underserved and beginning farmer guidelines, visit www.fsa.usda.gov/farmloans or contact your local FSA Office.

The Many Hats of Park Rangers Wayne County Summer Reading Program
BICKNELL - On June 14th, Jessie Jordan and Brenda Zirwas, Rangers from Capitol Reef National Park came to Story Hour to tell the kids about their jobs. They brought all the different hats they wear as park rangers…. Flat hats, body armor (also called bullet proof vests which actually aren't bullet proof), ball caps and backpack for hiking, winter fur hats to show that they work yearround and in all types of weather, climbing helmets for search and rescue, wildland fire hats, structural fire hat, flight suit and helmet, and horse patrol hat. As they talked about each job, they had volunteers come up and try on the hats. They brought their stuffed animal, Cassidy, the marmot, who is the park ambassador! The children asked a lot of questions and learned a great deal about the many jobs of our park rangers as well as the Junior Ranger Program. At the end, the kids were invited up to try on any hat they wanted and were given Capitol Reef stickers. Thank you so much, Jessie and Brenda, for coming to our story hour! Many Thanks to Paula Pace for reading to the kids and to Charlotte Williams for helping. —Faun Jackson

Wills, Trusts, and More How Does a Trust Work? by Jeffery J. MCKenna
The use of a revocable trust (sometimes referred to as a “living trust” or “family trust”) to plan one’s estate has become very popular. Despite the popularity of the revocable trust, revocable trusts are not without their potential problems. First, it is important to understand that there is no definitive answer as to whether a trust is necessary. Another estate planner explained that asking whether a revocable trust is good or bad is like asking whether a wrench is good or bad. It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. A trust is just an estate planing tool. Whether it is good or bad depends on your needs and desires. Although there are many factors to consider in determining whether a revocable trust is right for you, here are a few of the more significant factors: 1. Avoiding Probate. It is true that a properly funded trust avoids probate. If the goal of the client is to avoid probate, it is critical that the trust be properly funded. To "properly fund" a trust, title to all assets and beneficiary
designations for insurance policies and retirement accounts must be reviewed. A properly funded trust avoids probate because the owner of the assets (generally termed the trustor, settlor, grantor or trustmaker in the trust document) conveys ownership from him or herself (in his or her individual capacity) to him or herself as trustee of his or her trust. Probate is avoided because for "probate purposes" the deceased person does not own assets but rather the trustee of the trust owns the assets. It is critical to understand that a revocable trust only avoids probate if the assets have been properly transferred to the trust. 2. Out of State Property. A revocable trust is especially useful if you own real estate in another state. Real estate in another state generally requires a probate proceeding in that state. If you live in one state but own real estate in another state, your beneficiaries may be required to commence multiple probate proceedings. This situation can be avoided through the use of a revocable trust. 3. Avoiding Court Ap-
pointed Conservatorship. A properly drafted trust should provide for the management of trust assets in the event the person contributing the property to the trust becomes incapacitated. This would avoid the need for a court appointed conservator for financial matters. In conclusion, a revocable trust is an important estate planning tool. Depending on your individual situation and desires, you may decide to use a revocable trust as your principal estate planning tool. As in all estate planning decisions, being educated about your choices is key in deciding whether a revocable trust is right for you. WITH A SATELLITE OFFICE NOW IN PANGUITCH. Jeffery J.

tHe lAuGhiNg pOiNt!! Living Large
Our son lived at home all four of his undergraduate years. He moved out only when he went to grad school and got an apartment. The first time my husband and I went to see his new place, Matt greeted us, saying, "I'm glad to finally be the host." As we walked in the door, my husband whispered to me, "Instead of the parasite."
Mom?
Although we had educated our two oldest children in public schools, we decided to home school our youngest, Lauren. When Lauren asked when she would start school, I told her it would be at least another year. At that time Mommy would be her teacher. With a worried look, Lauren cried out, "No, no, you can't do that! Who'll be my Mommy then?"
Verbose
My seven-year-old son had lost his second tooth during the night. My wife and I woke up early Saturday morning to his devastating news that it was nowhere to be found and a visit from the Tooth Fairy was in jeopardy. Between the sobs, we managed to obtain a rather lengthy explanation of his misfortune and the endless theories as to the whereabouts of the lost front tooth. "Well, Jason," my wife explained, winking to me on the sly, "surely the Tooth Fairy would understand if you wrote her a note explaining what happened." The tears were dried, and he wandered off to compose his letter. At two o'clock the following morning, as I tiptoed into his room with the expected two dollars, I found a small three-by-five-inch piece of paper pierced by the end of a coat hook beside his bed. It read simply: "Tooth lost. Please pay."

I decided to grab a burger at a drive-thru. There were no cars in sight, so I rolled up to the pay window. "We're still serving breakfast. And you have to order at the speaker," the clerk scolded. I drove all the way around the building to the squawk box and ordered a breakfast sandwich. "I'm sorry," she said, "we are now serving lunch."
Mathy
Our school's math teachers was giving a lesson on fractions and wrote an example on the chalkboard. He explained that the numerator was the top and the denominator the bottom. Leaning against the board, he asked the class, "Are there any questions?" When he turned back to face the board, laughter filled the room. "Mr. Alexander," one student giggled, "you have chalk dust all over your denominator!"

FYI PANGUITCH
June 30, 2016
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com No doubt about it, the Balloon Festival has become the biggest event of the year, surpassing even the 24th of July Home Coming. I only saw a couple of people that I knew while walking up town. This was only the 2nd time in 18 years that there wasn’t a balloon glow in the evening. We got back to our house it was 9:00 pm and the wind wasn’t blowing, but 5 minutes later the wind again came up blowing out of the north this time, but only lasted a short time. With the high cost of these balloons, the pilots aren’t willing to chance it and I don’t blame them. People were still walking the streets and visiting old friends and the weather was perfect for a good walk. The venders all did well selling their items and the crowds are really good for the town. The Class of 2006 had their reunion here at our place and they had a pretty good turnout. I am surprised at how many of the classmates traveled from so far away, St Louis, North Dakota, SLC and
San Diego. This class is all over the country, as far away as Alaska, they really enjoy each other’s company. Several said they really missed Panguitch and plan on coming back here to retire in another 30 or 40 years. Well there isn’t much time between events! This weekend is the 4th of July Celebration, believe it or not. So if you have guests you might tell them that the Fire Fighters will be lighting off sticks of dynamite on your front lawn Monday morning at 6:00 am. This will give you time to go over to Zions Bank for another Lions Club breakfast, at this time you won’t have to wait in such long lines. At 10:00 the kids parade starts, so have them decorate up their bikes, if you have an old car or street rod bring it and get in line. At noon the PHS Seniors will be having lunch so come down to the Fair building and give them your support. There may be a rodeo down at the Triple C Arena. At 10:00pm the Fire Fighters will be putting on their big Fireworks display,
one of the best in So. Utah. With all of the heat and wind the Fire Fighter are urging the public to save their fireworks money and enjoy their big show. The 4th is one of my favorite holidays. Then in a couple of weeks the Fiddlers will be here and boy do I enjoy their music, you can understand the words. Friday night is the taste of Panguitch dinner and this event keeps growing, come early, the last few years they have run out of food. The dinner will be held behind Zions Bank and starts at 5:00 pm. I know it’s a little early for the 24th, but you might want to be planning to work on your float. This year’s theme is “Celebrating Our Legacy”, these floats always take a lot of work in the planning stages, so get a head start. In the summer time there is something going on all of the time and it will be finished off with our big ATV rally at the end of August. The Park is still really busy. However with this week’s news that England has voted to
get out of the EU, it could affect the tourist trade from there big time. On the first day after the vote the pound dropped $16.00 to its lowest value in 40 years. Thursday you had to spend $150 dollars to buy 100 pounds, now which is down to $134.00. A lot of money was spent to get the people to vote, to leave the EU, I don’t think they were told of the consequences of their actions. All of a sudden their homes are worth less and they will be working for much less money. However that was only one day and things could turn around on Monday, or it could get worse. People that traveled from England to the States did it at a third less cost, so it could affect our parks. Wholesale oil prices also fell down 6% to $46.95 as did the Stock Market; it went down over 600 points. I know that both of the last two items will bounce back after a couple of days of panic. A sign on our way down to Vegas, advertising for a liquor store “I went on a liquor diet and have already lost 3 days. Mack O

Death Notice "Mack" McAllyn Edmiston, Sr. ESCALANTE - “Mack” McAllyn Edmiston Sr, age 84, passed away in Escalante, Utah. A graveside service will be held Tuesday, June 28, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. at the Escalante Cemetery under the direction of Southern Utah Mortuary. Online condolences can be made at www.sumortuary.com.
The Golden Years....not sure exactly what they had in mind when they said our senior years are the Golden Years. Was it that we were supposed to be free to enjoy life to its fullest?, spend a lot of money to keep our life on an even keel?, Or some magic is going to happen and we become golden with money from somewhere? The only thing I discovered is that when you get in your senior years things start falling apart. It is like your car, one thing breaks down and bam others start to follow behind. As a teenager I never thought I could get this old and still be alive. But here I am and still going if I can just keep things from falling apart. Do any of you ever feel like that. It is not like having a disease that won't go away, it is like being old before you realize it. My mirror screams at me every morning telling me that IS me in the mirror and not just some old lady who stood in front of me. It is not all scary things because all of a sudden you once again enjoy the sunset, the birds singing,
a new flower popping out on your favorite plant. It is hugging those little beings called grandchildren and greatgrandchildren who love you even though everything is not working right. They are precious and tell you that things are right with the world when they are around you. You can love music and sing at the top of your lungs as you work around or drive somewhere. I often wonder if people in the car next to me think I have lost my mind as I sing with joy to a favorite song (Country Western mostly - old tyme country western that is) or to a Disney tune you find catching. Yes I believe it when they say we are in our second childhood. You find yourself laughing at cartoons with the kids or going to the zoo so you can have a corn dog and watch the seals and penguins. You enjoy life in a different way and you know that God is alive and well and watching over you, every way possible. The wind in your hair is so delightful and seeing friends is wonderful. Could these things be what they mean by the Golden Years... you love the same things you loved as a child in a new way and savor each day with delight. You play a board game with your mate until three in the morning and love every minute of it. You are happy in your world and even though things don't always work right in your body you still love life to the fullest. Thanks to family and friends for putting up with your new old ideas. We love and cherish life each day and are so happy when the sun comes up or the rain comes
down. Thanks for letting me wander for a bit. It felt good. Alma and Anita Fletcher have daughter Stephanie Scott from Arizona with her eight children visiting for a couple of weeks. They had all attended the Cox Reunion at the Rockville Farm in Rockville along with Anita and Alma. Today was Landyn Brinkerhoff's Missionary Farewell. Austyn Brinkerhoff and Dallas Clark spoke with him. A musical number by Denise Pierson and Katie Beesley, accompanied by Janice Twitchell. They sang "In the Hollow of Thy Hand" a beautiful song. Landyn is going to Nebraska for his mission and he is the son of Clint and Stephanie Brinkerhoff and grandson of Steve and VerJean Clark and Raymond and Ronnie Brinkerhoff. We wish him a successful mission. Henrieville will be celebrating the 4th of July on Saturday, July 2nd. Start with Flag Raising at 8:30 AM with parade at 9:00 AM. Games and an Indian Taco Lunch following at noon. Suggested donation is $7.00 per taco with the proceeds going towards the new playground equipment for the Town Park. They will also have hamburgers and hot dogs. Adam Platt had his Missionary Homecoming and his sister, Lizzie Platt gave her Missionary Farewell talk. Adam and Lizzie sang "Joseph Smith's First Prayer". They are the children of Nathan and Lori Platt and grandchildren of Ken and Artoise Platt with Delpha Rose being their Great-grandmother.
Tuesday, June 28th will be the Kick-off for Helaman's Camp. It was held at 6:00 P.M. at the Tropic Town Park. Spring Seiler was released as a Sunday School teacher. Jean and Spring Seiler were released as Youth Advisors. Marie Barton was called as a Sunday School Teacher and Brian and Lacey Jensen were called as the Youth Advisors. Sam Jensen turned 16 and was advanced to a Priest. Devin Roundy was baptized on Saturday and her grandpa from Escalante confirmed her. She is the daughter of Lewis and Alayse Roundy of Tropic. Speakers were Moyle Johnson and Max Hyatt who gave his Farewell talk for his Spanish Speaking Mission in Ft. Lauderdale FL. He will train in the Mexico City MTC. His parents are Kim and Teddi Hyatt of Texas and they came to support their son. A reminder to Senior Citizens: Lunches will still be served three days a week on Tues, Wed, and Thurs. However Exercise Class and Bingo have been cancelled until September. Next trip to St. George will be on July 23rd. A volunteer Bus Driver for Thursdays is needed and there will be no charge for your lunch. Please contact the center at 679-8666 or Doug at 616-8926. The weather, although warm, has been beautiful. Hope you all have a safe week and please call or email your news. Thanks VS

White House to Fight Judge's Ruling on Fracking SALT LAKE CITY The Obama administration is defending its environmental agenda after a federal judge struck down the Bureau of Land Management's rules on the use of hydraulic fracturing - also called fracking - on public lands. The White House said it will appeal this week's ruling that the president's order overstepped his authority and that the agency must have permission from Congress to regulate fracking. Clare Lakewood, staff attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity, said that argument doesn't hold up. "It's an outlier of a decision," she said. "Frankly, there is plenty of authority that BLM has the authority to make rules with regard to fossil fuel extraction on its land including fracking. And we are confident this will be overturned on appeal." The fracking rules already were on hold after the same judge issued a preliminary injunction last year, and will likely remain in place during the appeals process. The case was brought by a group of oil and gas-producing states, including Utah, the Ute Tribe and the Southern Ute Tribe. Lakewood said the rules would have guaranteed the public more information on the chemicals used - some of which have been linked to respiratory disease and even cancer. "It would require disclosure of ... the chemicals that are used in hydraulic fracturing. That's really important," she said, "because we know that a lot of the chemicals are toxic to humans and the environment." The BLM rules also require all fracking wastewater be stored in above-ground tanks instead of in containment pits that have the potential to leak and contaminate groundwater. The lawsuit argued that the rules were unnecessary since the states already have the authority to regulate fracking. —Mark Richardson, Utah News Connection

Anyone Can Make Mistakes With Estate Matters – You Don't Have To by nathaniel sillin
Adulthood brings certain financial responsibilities like the building of budgets, bank accounts and proper insurance. It's surprising how few consider a proper estate plan part of that essential mix. In fact, a recent ABCNews poll (http://abcnews.go.com/Business/ story?id=86992) found that only about 50 percent of Americans have created a will and significantly fewer have created the supporting estate documents like a living will or a power of attorney. Preparing now for the end of your life or for illness may not sound like fun, but it is necessary. Having a plan for the future can help bring you peace and even put you on the road to stronger financial security. It can also help those you care most about. We've all heard cautionary tales about relatives or friends who did not have a will, and family members who were left with difficult but avoidable situations. So, how do you start an estate plan? It has a lot to do with carefully drawn documents, but it's the planning behind them that really counts. I would encourage you to work with a qualified financial, estate and/or tax professional in your home state at the earliest opportunity to make sure your plans fit your needs and the needs of your loved ones. Here's a bit more detail on each. A will, also called a testament, is the starting point. Wills are generally seen as the umbrella document that drives the rest of an individual's estate process. A will generally accomplishes the following: It details how you want to leave your property to specific people or institutions af-
ter you die. If you have minor children, it allows you to name a guardian to care for them after you die or become incapacitated. It also indicates who will manage your kids' assets, including what you leave them. It lets you name your executor, the trusted person who will carry out all your wishes in the will. If you die without a valid will, your state's court system may get involved in distributing your assets depending on intestacy laws on the books. A living will – also known as an advance directive – allows you to define how you want to be medically treated under specific situations, including irreversible injury or terminal illness. Depending on your state laws, living wills allow you to express your exact wishes about feeding, breathing assistance and other lifesustaining procedures in addition to how you want them carried out at certain decision points in your care. A living will may also provide information on pain or infection medications you either want or don't want administered as well as specific instructions about your remains, including release to your family or donation for medical research. Powers of attorney are legal documents that allow
you to name a specific person to take care of your money or healthcare wishes if you are incapacitated. It is particularly wise to seek professional counsel from a qualified trusts and estates attorney in writing these documents. The person you designate as healthcare power of attorney will be speaking with doctors and executing your wishes on various forms of treatment; your financial power of attorney will be in charge of paying your bills and depending on the range of responsibilities you outline for that person, handling your investment and business affairs. Both are extremely important jobs that should be carried out by people you trust, and that's why they need to be people in the know. Make their preparation part of your estate planning so they know how to step in and carry out the assignments you've given them efficiently. Bottom line: Estate planning is the final, responsible step in all good financial planning. While it may be unpleasant to do, it is essential in taking care of family, loved ones and causes you support after you're gone. Nathaniel Sillin directs Visa's financial education programs.
