A Last Will and Testament documents your final wishes, provides clear direction for your loved ones and reduces the potential for conflict during asset distribution. A Will is also where you appoint a guardian for minor children.

A codicil to a Will is a simple legal document used to update or amend your existing Will without rewriting the entire thing. Think of it as a quick, cost-effective way to make changes (like updating beneficiaries, modifying asset distribution, or changing your chosen guardian for minor children) while keeping your original Will intact.

Trusts offer enhanced privacy and control while helping your family avoid probate. They can also prevent your beneficiaries from receiving all of their inheritance in one lump sum, with zero oversight over how the funds are used. By strategically using a Living Trust and similar instruments, you can often avoid the probate process entirely, saving your loved ones time, expense, and stress. Trusts can be tailored to your specific wishes, ensuring that assets are distributed according to your plan and that sensitive financial matters remain private.

An irrevocable trust is a powerful tool to safeguard your assets from potential lawsuits, creditors, or costly long-term care expenses. By transferring ownership of certain assets to this type of trust, you remove them from your personal estate, offering a layer of protection that can keep your wealth secure for your beneficiaries. Irrevocable trusts can also help you minimize estate taxes and ensure your wishes are honored, even in challenging circumstances.

A Supplemental Needs Trust allows you to provide for a loved one with a disability without jeopardizing their eligibility for vital government benefits like Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). This specialized trust is designed to enhance your loved one’s quality of life, covering expenses that go beyond basic care (such as education, therapy, vacations, or hobbies) while preserving their access to public assistance.
Families with a child or adult who has special needs often consider a Supplemental Needs Trust to ensure ongoing support and peace of mind, regardless of what the future holds.

Life changes, and sometimes your trust needs to change with it. A trust amendment allows you to update specific terms or instructions in your existing trust without having to start from scratch. Whether you need to add a new beneficiary, change a trustee, or adjust your distribution plan, amending your trust keeps it current with your wishes and circumstances while preserving all its existing benefits.

Powers of attorney empower you to designate someone to make financial and healthcare decisions for you if you become unable to make these decisions on your own due to serious illness or injury.

A living will is a legal document that lets you clearly state your preferences for medical care if you are ever unable to communicate those wishes yourself. By creating a living will, you give your loved ones and medical providers clear direction about the types of life-sustaining treatments you do or do not want, removing stress and uncertainty during difficult times. This helps ensure your choices are honored while sparing your family from making agonizing decisions on your behalf.

A Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) form is a legal document that specifies your wishes regarding life-saving medical interventions, like CPR, if your heart or breathing stops. This form is typically used when someone faces a serious or terminal illness and wants to avoid unwanted or invasive medical procedures at the end of life.
Completing a DNR form (together with a Living Will) ensures that your values and choices are honored, providing clarity for both your family and your healthcare providers. It’s wise to consider these documents as part of your estate planning if you want to relieve your loved ones from making difficult medical decisions on your behalf.
