WILLS

A will is a foundational estate planning document that names an executor to your estate, gives instructions on how your property should be distributed, and designates a guardian for any minor children you may have.

LIVING TRUSTS

Many individuals and couples have chosen Living Trusts as an alternative to the traditional Simple Will. These are sometimes referred to as revocable trusts. Living Trusts can have several advantages over Wills, including probate avoidance, avoiding guardianship issues, maintaining wealth for future generations, and privacy.

POWER OF ATTORNEYS

If you are unable to manage your affairs in the future, decisions regarding your finances and health care could be made by someone who does not have your best interests at heart. A power of attorney can be used to designate a trusted individual to take care of your affairs if you become incapacitated. You should communicate your plans and desires with them to make sure the right decisions are made and carried out.
