Will
The primary purpose of a Will is to transfer assets upon death to the intended beneficiaries. When you decide to complete a will, this will often make the probate a lot easier and less expensive. If you are able to specify that the probate be conducted in an informal manner, and without bond, court appearances will be unnecessary. Wills are also great because you can appoint the person you most trust and that is most capable to have control over the assets of your estate. Also, if you have children a will is extremely important. In your will you will appoint a guardian for any minor children. A parent’s wishes are extremely important to the Court when they are appointing a guardian. If you have children, it is very important for you to have a will for their best interest.
Health Care Directive
A health care directive or a living will has two main components: directing your doctors to not conduct specific procedures and appointing a person to make healthcare decisions for you if you are unable to do so. Health Care Directives are extremely important so that you can appoint a person you trust to care for you.
Power of Attorney
The Power of Attorney is a document that provides another person legal authority to make any decision for you that you could for yourself. Many people want to appoint a power of attorney when they get older, but is also a good thing to consider having in case of an accident or illness.
