Wills
No one wants to think of the possibility of death - that
is, his/her own death. But it is important to make sure that your family and other
loved ones are provided for if anything happens to you. If you don't have a will
then now is the time to give it serious thought. If you have made a will and you
want to make amendments then do so now because it will be too late to make those
changes if something should happen to you. |

Trusts
Not many people understand what a Trust is
and how it differs from a Will. There are many types of trusts, but the one main
benefit of all trusts is how they will keep your estate out of probate after your
death. |

Powers of Attorney
A Power of Attorney is a legal instrument
that is used to delegate legal authority to another. The person who signs(executes)
a Power of Attorney is called the Principal. The power of Attorney gives legal authority
to another person (called an Agent or Attorney-in-Fact) to make property, financial
and other legal decisions for the Principal. A Principal can give an Agent broad
legal authority, or very limited authority. The Power of Attorney is frequently
used to help in the event of a Principal's illness or disability, or in legal transactions
where the principal cannot be present to sign necessary legal documents. |

Health Care Directives
Health Care Directives allow individuals to give instructions about their health care wishes and to appoint an agent to make medical decisions on their behalf if they are unable to do so. |
