Wills, Power of Attorney, and Probate are more than just writing down what you own and who you want to give it to. Proper estate planning gives direction to your loved ones in a time of grief.At Dietz Law Firm, we recommend a, estate planning package of items necessary to carry out your wishes. We recommend a will, medical directive, and power of attorney. It is also important that your estate planning documents meet the requirements to be upheld in a Court of Law and are updated to reflect particular times in your life.
A will is a means to detail your assets and liabilities that are required to be dealt with after you pass.
Medical directives detail how you want to be treated in the time of medical treatment or death. For instance: Do you want to be resuscitated? Do you want your organs to be donated? Do you want to be buried or cremated?
Power of attorney gives power to an individual you trust to handle your personal affairs if you become unable to handle them yourself. Power of attorney also gives the power to an individual to handle your estate after you pass.
Probate is the legal means to deal with your personal affiars, carry out your wishes in your will, medical directive and power of attorney.
