What Does Comprehensive Estate Planning Include?
A comprehensive estate plan is more than just a Will. It includes a complete set of legal tools. These tools aim to protect you while you are alive. They also ensure that your wishes are followed after you die.
Our comprehensive estate plans typically include:
- Revocable Living Trust – Avoid probate, maintain privacy, and control how your assets are managed and distributed.
- Last Will and Testament – Name guardians for minor children and direct any assets not transferred to your Trust.
- Healthcare Power of Attorney – Choose someone you trust to make medical decisions for you if you cannot.
- Living Will (Advance Directive) – Express your wishes regarding end-of-life medical care.
- HIPAA Release – Grant access to your medical records to people you trust.
- General (Durable) Power of Attorney – Appoint someone to manage your financial and legal matters during incapacity.
With these core documents in place, your plan offers clarity, control, and protection—at every stage of life.
