COMMON QUESTIONS

Estate planning, answered.

A will alone still goes through probate. A revocable living trust lets your assets pass to your family privately, without the delay and fees of probate.

That’s what the Pour-Over Will is for. It catches anything left in your personal name and moves it into your trust at death.

Your Durable Power of Attorney covers your finances, and your Health Care Surrogate and Living Will cover your medical care. Without them, decisions may be left to a court or the State.

Yes. A revocable trust can be updated as your life changes: a new home, a new child, a move or new investments.

A rough list of what you own (homes, accounts, investments, businesses), the people you want to provide for, and any existing wills or trusts.
