The Essential Estate Plan

The basic or essential estate plan consists of five documents every person should have: a Will, Power of Attorney, Living Will, Healthcare Surrogate Designation and HIPPA release.  While these documents are often considered part of the basic estate plan, there is nothing basic about them.  These are the documents that will determine who cares for you and your assets when you can no longer make decisions for yourself.  These are the documents that will determine how your estate will pass on to the next generation. A poorly drafted Will without the proper legal language can prevent your intentions from being carried out and cause great hardship for the very people you intend to benefit.  All of the documents we prepare are tailored to you and your life situation.
