Comprehensive Planning, Personalized for You How Can We Help?
Key Estate Planning Tools
These are some of the basic mechanisms we use to help clients protect their interests:
Last Will and Testament
A Last Will and Testament, known in short as a “will” is one of the most well-known documents that is used in an estate plan. A will directs how and where the things you own will be distributed after your lifetime. A will also names an Executor to administer the estate. This is the person or people that you designate to have the legal authority and responsibility to collect all the estate assets, pay all taxes and debt, and distribute the estate according to the terms of your will.
Health Care Proxy
This document allows you to appoint an individual to make healthcare decisions for you in the event you are unable to express your own wishes due to incapacity. A Living Will can accompany a Health Care Proxy, which can provide specific instructions of your wishes regarding end-of-life care and may include instructions regarding termination of life support, artificial nutrition, hydration and respiration efforts, and pain relief in specific circumstances.
Durable Power of Attorney
A Durable Power of Attorney gives legal authority to a person that you choose to handle legal and financial matters and conduct business in the event you are unable to due to incapacity or other situations. Without a power of attorney in place, no one has legal authority to manage your affairs in the event of incapacity—even your spouse does not automatically get legal authority unless you have designated it.
