Trusts, Wills & Legacy Planning: Why It Matters
Wills
A Will outlines how your assets, property, and personal belongings should be distributed after your passing, and it names guardians for minor children. Its purpose is to ensure your wishes are clearly honored, prevent confusion among loved ones, and keep the courts from making decisions on your behalf.
Living Will
A Living Will documents your medical treatment preferences—such as life support, pain management, and end-of-life decisions—so providers and family members know exactly what you want. Its purpose is to protect your voice during a medical crisis and relieve your family from having to make difficult choices without guidance.
Power of Attorney
A Power of Attorney authorizes a trusted individual to make financial, legal, or medical decisions for you if you become unable to act on your own. Its purpose is to ensure your affairs remain protected, bills are paid, and important decisions are made responsibly while you are incapacitated.
Trusts
A Trust is a legal arrangement that holds and manages your assets for your benefit or for your chosen beneficiaries, both during your lifetime and after. Its purpose is to protect wealth, avoid probate, maintain privacy, control how and when assets are distributed, and potentially reduce taxes—making it one of the strongest tools for long-term legacy and generational planning.
