President Barack Obama has been making the rounds across the country to promote his health care initiatives.

One of the places where President Obama showed up was an online forum sponsored by the AARP. In his response to a question about a proposed health care bill, President Obama said that he and First Lady Michelle Obama each have living wills (but hoped it would be a long time before either one has to put them to use).

Like any diligent parent, the President and First Lady have thought about what might happen in the future and have taken steps to make sure that their decisions and directives will be followed in case the unthinkable happened.

I would add that, as parents of young children, everyone should have a kids protection plan in place to take care of their children if something happened to them.

Finally, I’m giving away FREE living wills for the month of August. I chose to do this because of the work I had to on behalf of a local fireman who was injured on the job. I was shocked how 3 attorneys needed to get involved just so decisions could be made. I want to help fix that problem. So, make an appointment in August for a Family Wealth Planning Session (free, valued at $750) and receive a FREE living will and advance health care directive for you and a spouse.
