Every family is different. Your estate planning documents should reflect your personal circumstances, family, property, and wishes.
LegalEase can assist with the preparation of documents including:
A revocable living trust can help organize how your assets are managed during your lifetime and distributed after your death. Trusts are commonly used by California homeowners and families who want to make the transfer of their property and other assets more organized for their beneficiaries.
A will provides written instructions regarding how you want certain property distributed and can address important matters such as the nomination of guardians for minor children.
A durable power of attorney allows you to designate someone to handle certain financial and personal matters if you are unable to manage them yourself.
Having this document in place can be an important part of preparing for an unexpected illness, injury, or incapacity.
An Advance Health Care Directive allows you to identify the person you want to make health care decisions for you if you cannot communicate those decisions yourself.
It can also document your preferences regarding medical care and end-of-life decisions.
A HIPAA authorization can allow designated individuals to obtain important medical information when permitted by the document.
This can be especially important during a medical emergency when family members may otherwise have difficulty obtaining information.
