Some features of a good estate plan include the following:

• Wills: Wills contain detailed information that pertains to how an estate should be handled after death, including instructions for the distribution of assets, payment of debts, and appointment of personal representatives.
• Trusts: Trusts are agreements between a beneficiary and a trustee. Trusts are used to care for disabled loved ones or to set aside wealth for children or other heirs.
• Powers of Attorney: Powers of Attorney allow one person to make legal decisions on behalf of another for such matters as health and finances.
• Health Care Directives: These legal documents contain information relating to someone’s future medical wishes.
• Probate Administrations: Following a death, an estate may need to be opened in the local superior probate court. We have years of experience representing personal representatives of estates.
