- Estate planning: Make sure you have an estate plan that makes your intentions clear so that your money and property are distributed according to your wishes.
- Wills: The primary document in an estate plan is often a last will and testament. Make sure yours is up to date and meets your expectations.
- Revocable living trust: When a loved one is unable to manage his or her own assets, a revocable living trust may be the right answer for your estate plan.
- Durable power of attorney: A durable power of attorney can assign a trusted person to handle your financial and business affairs.
- Health care proxies: Who will make decisions about your health care if you become incapacitated? A heath care proxy can settle that issue in advance.
