Revocable Trusts
A Revocable Living Trust is a type of trust that can be altered, amended, or revoked by the grantor during their lifetime. It is one of the most powerful tools in estate planning.
- Trust Agreement — transfers legal title of assets to the trust, managed by a trustee for beneficiaries.
- Revocability — the grantor retains the right to change terms, add or remove assets, or terminate the trust at any time.
- Trustee — the person or institution managing trust assets; often the grantor can serve as trustee while alive.
- Avoids probate and facilitates the seamless transfer of property after death.
Wills
A Last Will and Testament is a legal document that explains what a person wants to happen to their property, money, and personal belongings after their death.
- Distribution of Property — specifies who inherits what, from real estate to personal belongings.
- Executor Appointment — names the person responsible for carrying out your instructions and handling the estate.
- Guardianship for Minor Children — designates a guardian to care for young children.
- Funeral or Burial Wishes — optional instructions about arrangements or preferences.
Living Will
A Living Will is a legal document that explains what kind of medical care or life support you want — or don't want — if you become too sick or injured to speak for yourself.
- Specifies whether you want to be kept on a breathing machine or life-prolonging treatments.
- Addresses feeding tubes and artificial nutrition preferences.
- Covers pain relief preferences even if treatment might shorten life.
- Used while you're still alive but unable to make decisions — distinct from a regular will.
Healthcare Surrogate
A Healthcare Surrogate designation allows a person you choose to make medical decisions for you if you can't make them yourself.
- You name a trusted surrogate who can speak with doctors and review treatment options on your behalf.
- Activates when you become too sick, unconscious, or unable to communicate.
- Your surrogate makes care decisions based on your known wishes and best interests.
- Works in conjunction with your Living Will for comprehensive incapacity planning.
Power of Attorney
A written authorization by which one person (the principal) appoints another as agent and confers authority to perform certain acts on behalf of the principal.
- Durable Financial Power of Attorney — manages bank accounts, real estate, investments, and business affairs.
- Formal grant of legal authority allowing an agent to act in place of the principal.
- Subject to the terms and scope set out in the document.
- Avoids court-supervised guardianship proceedings if you become incapacitated.
