What Is A Will?
You are probably familiar with the term last will and testament. Essentially, a will is a legal document that states how your final affairs debts are to be handled after your death. Probate is the process of giving your property away after you pass away.
A medical power of attorney outlines your desires regarding your healthcare decisions should you become incapacitated. Living wills help your family by setting out your wishes regarding tough end of life healthcare decisions if your brain has died and you are only being kept alive by medical support.
What Is A Trust?
Trusts create a fiduciary relationship in which you give another party, such as a family member, the authority to handle your assets if you become incapacitated or upon your death. Generally, revocable living trusts are preferred over wills because they help avoid a lengthy and expensive court supervised probate.
There are other types of trusts. Choosing the right one for you depends on your personal situation. Mark Brynteson will guide you through the entire process and help you decide what is best for you and your family.
Why Do I Need An Estate Planning Attorney?
Estate Plans include both wills and trusts which help protect your family in the event of your passing. People are always surprised how expensive the end of a person’s life can be. A good estate planning attorney will create a plan which makes sure your loved ones receive the full benefit of your estate at the lowest possible cost to you.
