Estate planning is the process of arranging for the management and disposal of a person's estate during their lifetime and after their death. It involves making decisions about how assets will be distributed, who will receive them, and who will be responsible for managing them in the event of incapacity or death.
The probate process can vary somewhat depending on the laws of the state or jurisdiction where the deceased person resided, as well as the complexity of the estate. The probate process can take anywhere from several months to several years to complete, with the average duration falling somewhere in between. It's important for executors, administrators, and beneficiaries to be patient and prepared for the potential length of time involved in probating an estate.
Also called a Will. This document describes how a person’s debts are to be paid and assets distributed at his or her death; it names a guardian for minor children, and names an executor or personal representative to oversee the settlement of the estate.
Also called a Revocable Trust, this document is a trust that is often used to avoid probate and to manage when children receive their inheritances. This type of trust can be changed or revoked at any time (and from time to time) during the lifetime of the person (called the settlor or the grantor) who set it up.
This is a document which names and authorizes a person(s) to make financial decisions and/or transactions for another person (called the principal).
Also called an Advance Directive, this is a document that instructs your physicians and loved ones as to your intentions relative to life support (i.e., artificial nutrition, hydration and respiration), in the event that you are permanently unconscious or have a terminal condition.
Also called a Health Care Power of Attorney, this is a document naming a person to make healthcare decisions for another person (called the principal) when the principal is no longer able to do so.
“HIPAA” is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, a federal law that protects a person’s private medical and mental health information. A HIPAA Authorization is a document that designates person(s) who may receive another person’s private medical and mental health information.
This is a trust that allows a person to provide for their pet after their death. It names a caregiver and a trustee and can be funded during lifetime or at death.
This is a trust that allows a person to set aside funds for disabled loved one without affecting government benefits. It is a supplemental trust and can pay for expenses that government benefits do not cover.
