What Estate Planning Documents are Most Important in Essex County?

Creating an estate plan is one of the most loving acts you can perform for your family. Taking the small amount of time to talk to an estate planning attorney can make all the difference for your loved ones while you’re alive and after you pass on. Your lawyer will listen compassionately to your concerns and advise you on what documents to use so you achieve your goals.

Some examples of helpful estate planning documents include:

  • Will – Your will indicates people who will fulfill critical roles during estate administration and can also dictate how you want your assets passed on
  • Trust – The trust document can preserve your assets for future generations and gives greater flexibility in how you pass on the inheritance
  • Powers of attorney – With a power of attorney, you may name individuals who will care for your medical needs, financial matters, and other important matters
