Estate Planning Services
Wills
Your will is a foundational legal document that outlines how your assets should be distributed upon your death. It also allows you to name guardians for minor children and appoint a personal representative to carry out your wishes. While a will does go through probate, it provides clear instructions to avoid confusion or disputes.
Revocable Living Trust
A revocable living trust is a flexible estate planning tool that allows you to manage your assets during your lifetime and distribute them efficiently after death—without the delays or costs of probate. As the grantor, you retain control of the trust and can modify or revoke it at any time. This option is ideal for those seeking privacy, control, and a smoother transition of assets to beneficiaries.
Power of Attorney/ Health Care Surrogate
A durable power of attorney is a document that authorizes a trusted individual to act on your behalf in financial and legal matters, even if you become incapacitated. It ensures that someone you choose can manage your affairs—such as paying bills, accessing accounts, and handling property—without court intervention. This document is often paired with a health care surrogate designation, which allows someone to make medical decisions for you if you’re unable to communicate your wishes.
Living Will/ Advance Healthcare Directive
A living will, also known as an advance healthcare directive, outlines your preferences regarding medical treatment in the event you become incapacitated and unable to communicate. It allows you to make decisions in advance about life-prolonging procedures, giving your loved ones clarity and peace of mind during difficult times.
