What Does An Estate Plan Include?

Your estate plan will not look like everyone else’s, and it should be designed to grow and change as your life changes. However, the fundamental elements of most estate plans are these:

• A will designates who receives your assets and who will represent your estate at probate.
• A trust holds ownership of some of your assets, allowing them to pass to your heirs according to your instructions without the wait of probate.
• Powers of attorney authorize trusted individuals to make medical and financial decisions for you if you are unable to do so.
• A medical directive provides written instructions for your treatment preferences if you become seriously ill, including when to discontinue life support.
