Estate Planning (Wills, Trusts
and Durable Powers of Attorney)
Estate Planning allows you to determine where your "stuff" goes. It allows you,
while you are still living, to ensure that your property will go to the people
you want, in the way you want, and when you want.
All
estate plans should include, at minimum, two important estate planning
instruments:
-
A durable power of attorney for managing your property during your life, in
case you are ever unable to do so yourself.
-
A will for the management and distribution of your property after death.
-
In addition, more and more, Americans also are using revocable (or "living")
trusts to avoid probate and to manage their estates both during their lives
and after they're gone.
