Planning for your future and the transfer of wealth when you have passed is never an easy topic. Not all estates are complex, requiring lengthy documents jammed with legalese that cost thousands of dollars. The cost of a prudent and comprehensive estate plan depends primarily on the assets of the client to be transferred, the tax issues involved, the wishes of the client and the needs of the client during their lifetime.
A living trust while all the rage is not required, as a part of every estate plan and may under certain circumstances be a needless expenditure.
Important documents that should be a part of every estate plan include a Will, Durable Power of Attorney and a Living Will, also known as an Advanced Medical Directive or Medical Power of Attorney.
