Wills
Our Will Package Includes:
Last Will and Testament
This is a legal document that provides instructions to a probate court as to how you would like your assets distributed upon your death. With your Last Will & Testament, you nominate a Personal Representative (also known as an Executor) of your estate, who will be in charge of taking care of the entire probate process. The Personal Representative, along with a probate attorney, will inventory your probate assets, settle outstanding debts and make any property distributions. Your Last Will & Testament plays another crucial role; it nominates a guardian for your minor children in the event you (and your spouse) become incapacitated or pass away.
Durable Power of Attorney
This is a legal document that gives your named agent the authority to pay bills, manage investments, file tax returns, mortgage and sell real estate, make financial decisions and address other financial matters on your behalf. You can give your agent the authority to make financial decisions for you immediately (upon signing the POA) or in the event you are determined incapacitated by a licensed physician. Either way, the powers that are delegated to your agent do not terminate upon you becoming disabled or incapacitated.
Living Will and Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care
This is a legal document that allows you to specify your medical care preferences, including life-sustaining treatments, in the event you become unable to make those decisions yourself. It also names your agent to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so. This person is authorized to consent to or refuse medical treatment.
