Last Will and Testament, Living Will or Living Trust

  •  

    WHAT IS A LAST WILL and TESTAMENT?
    A Last Will and Testament is probably the most important document the average person will ever sign.  A Last Will is used to distribute property to beneficiaries, specify last wishes, and name guardians for minor children.  It is an important part of any estate plan.  Without one, the courts will make these critical decisions for you.  With or without a Last Will and Testament YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH PROBATE.
    WHAT IS A LIVING TRUST?
    A basic living trust allows property to AVOID PROBATE and to quickly and efficiently pass to the beneficiaries you name, without the hassles and expense of PROBATE COURT proceedings.  A married couple can use one basic living trust to handle both co-owned property and the separate property of either spouse.
    WHAT IS A LIVING WILL?
    A Living Will is a type of advanced directive in which instructions are given by an individual
    specifying what should be done for his/her health in case he/she is no longer able to make those
    decisions.  This document outlines important healthcare decisions in advance, such as whether or not to remain on artificial life support.
