The sad reality is that thousands of people each year pass away WITHOUT a proper estate plan to express their wishes to the court and their relatives. If you don’t choose your plan of action, the State will choose one for you. Do NOT allow that to happen.
We can provide the following documents to keep your assets safe and your wishes clearly known:
- Last Will and Testament: Controls the disposition of assets upon death which are not otherwise designated. Within a last will and testament, an executor is nominated, that person or persons is in charge of legally wrapping up the affairs of the deceased’s lifetime. This document is the Backbone of a proper estate plan.
- Power of Attorney for Health Care: Also known as a living will or patient advocate form.

In addition, within this document, you may make certain decisions about: being placed on machinery to sustain life; removal or non-removal of food and hydration to sustain life; and organ donation.
- Power of Attorney for Business: This document allows the person or persons you designate to handle your finances. This document can be contingent upon incapacity or can be active immediately.
