Wills and Estate Planning
"'Tis impossible to be sure of any thing but Death and Taxes." - The Cobbler of Preston by Christopher Bullock (1716)
Although death is certain, it is tempting to fail to plan for it. Having a Will can help ensure that your assets go where you want them to go, but a Will can do much more. A Will can ensure that the guardian of a minor child is who the parents select and can ensure that important matters are not left to the discretion of a judge who does not know the child.
A typical estate plan, in addition to a Will, includes a General Power of Attorney and a Health Care Power of Attorney (which may also be called a Living Will or Advanced Directive). Estate Plans will also frequently use revocable trusts and other trusts.
