Provident Law® offers estate planning packages that include the following documents:

  • Will: Everyone should have a last will and testament. It should clearly direct the distribution of your estate upon your death. A will offers a significant additional benefit if you have minor children because it enables you to designate a guardian of your choice. Without this testamentary designation, a third party may make this choice.
  • Trusts: A trust may help you avoid probate and various tax consequences upon your death. It transfers property to a trustee who acts as a fiduciary holding your trust assets on behalf of those you designate as beneficiaries. One of the most common types of trusts used in estate planning is a living trust. You should always consult an attorney to determine if a trust is right for your needs and objectives.
  • Durable power of attorney: A durable power of attorney allows a person of your choice to act as your agent to make financial decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated.
  • Health care power of attorney:  A health care power of attorney allows a person of your choice to act as your agent to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated.
  • Living will: A living will permits you to decide under which circumstances you desire particular types of life-saving treatment.
