Using The Proper Estate Planning Tools To Help Meet Your Goals
A proper estate plan will often consist of more than just a last will and testament. There are a number of estate planning tools that may be used depending on your desires and goals, including:
Wills: A will provides you with the opportunity to decide how your assets are to be distributed upon your death. A will can also enable you to set up a plan for the financial and/or custodial care of any minor children you have.
Powers of attorney: A financial and/or medical power of attorney enables you to appoint a trusted person who will make decisions regarding your assets and/or health care should you ever become incapacitated.
Health care directives: A health care directive allows you to make your wishes known regarding difficult decisions, such as whether to perform CPR or provide mechanical breathing in the event that you are unable to give consent to these decisions.
