Common Estate Planning documents include a will, power of attorney, living will, and designation of a health care surrogate, and in some cases, one or more trusts. Preparation of the proper documents with the assistance of an attorney will assist greatly in making sure that your wishes are carried out in the event medical or physical limitations keep you from making those decisions or after you die. The proper documents can also result in substantial savings in the administration of your estate and provide a level of comfort to your family.
