While a will is a necessary aspect of your estate planning, it’s not the only document you need. Here are other documents you need: Healthcare Power of Attorney A healthcare power of attorney that lets you name someone to make healthcare decisions on your behalf. Financial Power of Attorney. This document allows you to name a person to make financial decisions for you if you can’t and this doesn’t necessarily mean that you must be incapacitated. Many people use these when they are unavailable to sign documents. Living Will or Advance Directive. A living will or advance medical directive is often required by healthcare providers for certain medical procedures. However, this document should also be included within your estate plans. It tells your family and medical staff your wishes regarding lifesaving or life-prolonging medical procedures, in case you become unable to communicate with them. Revocable Trust. A living trust can limit the number of assets going through probate. Because a living trust is a revocable document, you can change it. A trust is designed to avoid or limit probate for the decedent’s assets, by creating a legally separate entity to hold property. #AubreyLaw, #EstatePlanning, #EstatePlanningLawyer, #PeaceofMind aubreylegal.com/contact
