Clarifying the Estate Planning Process

An estate plan covers a wide variety of arrangements for dealing with one’s estate, or property and assets. The documents in your estate plan are tailored to whatever your unique situation and goals require. While some people need Trust Agreements to accomplish their specific goals and minimize probate expenses, others may not.

Some of the documents in most estate plans are: Last Will and Testament; Durable Financial Power of Attorney; Health Care Power of Attorney; Living Will; and Funeral Planning Declaration.
