EACH DOCUMENT WORKS TOGETHER TO PROTECT YOU IN DIFFERENT WAYS:

  • The durable/financial power of attorney allows an agent of your choosing to assist you with your financial affairs in the event you cannot manage them yourself.
  • The healthcare and mental healthcare powers of attorney allow an agent of your choosing to assist in making medical decisions for you when you cannot speak for yourself.
  • The Last Will and Testament allows you to name who will receive your assets (although it won’t necessarily get you around probate) and who will act as a guardian for your child in the event the unfortunate occurs.
  • A beneficiary deed is an option in smaller estates that allows you to pass a house directly to a named beneficiary in a way similar to insurance beneficiary designations.
  • A Revocable Living Trust, also known as a Revocable Trust, Living Trust, Probate avoidance trust, etc., allows you to move around probate court to pass your assets privately. The trust is a straw man who holds you assets, the terms of the trust dictate how they will be distributed. Among other things, a trust is beneficial because it allows you to avoid probate, and to place restrictions on how your assets will be distributed.
