What To Know About Common Estate Planning Tools
There are many powerful legal documents that can be incorporated into an estate plan. These include:
- Wills: Also known as a last will and testament, they allow you to specify what will happen to your assets, who will have guardianship of your children and who will be the personal representative of your estate when you pass.
- Trusts: They put your property under the care and control of a trustee. Revocable living trusts can help with a wide range of goals, both during your lifetime and after your passing.
- Transfer on death deeds: These allow you to automatically transfer a piece of real estate to someone after you pass.
- Powers of attorney: You can use these to grant decision-making authority to others. They can help you avoid guardianship or conservatorship in the event of incapacity.
- Advance directives/living wills: These allow you to dictate what type of medical care you want in emergency and end-of-life situations.
Our estate planning lawyers can help you determine what tools are best suited for your goals and draft documents tailored to your wishes.
