What’s Included in Your Trust
A comprehensive strategy designed to protect your legacy and provide clarity for your heirs.
1. Revocable Living Trust
What it is: A flexible legal document that holds your assets and dictates how they are managed during your life and distributed after.
Why it matters: It keeps your estate out of public probate court, saving your family months of stress and thousands in legal fees.
2. Pour-Over Will
What it is: A safety-net will that ensures any assets forgotten or left outside the trust are automatically “poured” into it upon your passing.
Why it matters: It provides a total “catch-all” security blanket so no part of your legacy is left to state default laws.
3. Durable Financial Power of Attorney
What it is: Designates a person you trust to handle your financial affairs if you become unable to do so yourself.
Why it matters: Prevents a court from appointing a stranger to manage your money, keeping control within your family.
4. Healthcare Power of Attorney
What it is: Appoints a healthcare agent to make medical decisions for you if you are incapacitated.
Why it matters: Ensures your medical care aligns with your values and removes the burden of guesswork from your loved ones.
5. Living Will (Advance Directive)
What it is: Clearly outlines your preferences for end-of-life medical treatments and interventions.
Why it matters: It provides the ultimate gift of clarity to your family, preventing conflict during difficult emotional times.
6. HIPAA Authorization
What it is: A document that allows your healthcare providers to share your medical information with your designated agents.
Why it matters: Without this, privacy laws could prevent your loved ones from even knowing your status or talking to your doctors.
7. Trust Funding Guidance
What it is: The crucial process of re-titling your assets (house, bank accounts) so they are officially owned by your trust.
Why it matters: A trust is just an empty box unless you put your assets into it. We provide the steady hand to ensure this step is never missed.
Our full-service trust package is designed to be a living, breathing part of your family’s history—not just a set of papers. It’s the peace of mind that comes from knowing every season of your life is protected.
