An estate planning lawyer at Esp, Kreuzer, Cores & McLaughlin, LLP can advise you on the appropriateness of the following estate planning tools:

Wills: A legal will contains the instructions for the distribution of your property upon your death. A will ensures your property is inherited by your beneficiaries and not by statutorily defined people as determined by a judge.

Trusts: Trusts, which come in a wide variety of types, hold legal title to the property of one person for the benefit of that person or another party. There are a variety of trusts, such as charitable trusts, life insurance trusts, living trusts, asset protection trusts, and educational trusts.

Living Wills: These documents explain what medical treatment you prefer and whether you want life-saving medial treatments administered should you become unable to communicate your intentions.

Durable Powers of Attorney: These documents grant a designated person authority to act on your behalf in either financial or medical matters, or both, and will last beyond your incapacitation.
