- A Will (also called a Last Will and Testament): You may have told your family how you want your possessions distributed when you die, but it won’t be enforceable unless your wishes are put in the written form of a Will or Trust. For young families, a Will can also be used to name a guardian for minor children.
- A Trust (sometimes called a Living Trust or Family Trust): A Trust is a flexible estate planning tool that can help you manage assets while you are alive and efficiently transfer them to beneficiaries after you die. A trust can provide guidance to the trustee on how to provide for your family when you are not able.
- Durable Power of Attorney: A Power of Attorney allows you name a trusted person to manage your affairs if you are unable to do so yourself. By having a power of attorney in place, you can avoid the need for court appointed guardianship if you are incapacitated.
- Advance Health Care Directive: The Advance Health Care Directive combines a health care power of attorney, a living will and a HIPPA consent in one document. The agent you name using this directive can manage your medical care if you are unable to do so yourself. The living will component allows you to decide in advance if you want feeding tubes and other measures to keep you alive if you are in a vegetative state with no hope of recovery. This directive allows you to make decisions that you don’t want your loved ones to have to make.
