Most folks simply associate Estate Planning with having either a Will or a Trust. However, in reality, there is usually a bit more to than that. If you want to protect your hard earned legacy, protect your family and ensure that your final wishes are carried out, you’ll probably want to make sure that your estate plan includes a few other things as well.
List of Documents that Should Be a Part of Your Estate Plan
- A Last Will and Testament and/or a Trust
- A Durable Power of Attorney
- A letter of intent or instruction to your heirs
- A Healthcare Power of Attorney and/or Living Will
- Guardianship and Trustee designations for minor children or heirs
