Estate plans are comprised of a comprehensive set of documents and tools that detail the assets and property that make up your estate. These estate planning tools protect your estate and your wishes in the event of your incapacitation or death.
As each individual has their own unique set of circumstances and goals they wish to accomplish, it is imperative to meet with an experienced attorney who can create a comprehensive estate plan that is tailored fit to your specific wishes. An estate plan can include an array of documents and designations, including wills, trusts, ladybird deeds, advance health care directives (living wills), pre-need guardianships, and medical and financial powers of attorney. A properly drafted estate plan should protect the client during his or her life and ensure that his or her assets are properly distributed after their passing.
