This includes the careful documentation of how you would like your estate to be distributed when you pass away, appointing people you trust to care for your finances and legal affairs, and providing clear directions regarding your healthcare choices to trusted individuals of your choosing.
Having a will allows you to prepare for how your assets will be distributed upon your passing. You will have a choice regarding who will handle your affairs and your property, ensuring that your estate is managed according to your wishes. If you have children, you can also plan for their future care and provision through your will.
Probate is the process of validating the authenticity of a will of someone who has recently passed away, so that their assets can be distributed by their executor according to their wishes.
Assigning power of attorney lets you appoint a trusted individual to represent you in handling your financial and legal affairs in event that you become incapacitated or unable to act on your own behalf. This can include situations such as signing a contract or other legal documents, making a transaction while traveling abroad, or the inability to sign paperwork due to age or illness.
Representation agreements allow you to appoint a trusted individual to represent you in handling your healthcare and personal care needs according to your wishes. This allows you to have peace of mind knowing that a person you trust can speak on your behalf with doctors or other professionals in the medical and personal care industry should you become unable to express yourself.
Having an advanced directive lets you make it known in a legally documented format what your wishes are regarding your health and personal care.
