Need a Bit More Clarity?
Having questions is common, and encouraged. We want you to feel comfortable and informed.
With that in mind, here are a few of the questions we hear most often.
A last will and testament, also called a will, is a legal document that specifies who will receive assets or property owned in your name when you die. If you have minor children, a will can also name who should care for them.
A living will is a legal document that outlines your wishes for receiving life-sustaining procedures. This is separate from a last will and testament.
An executor is the representative you choose to be in charge of ensuring your will is carried out. If you do not select an executor, the court will appoint someone—often a relative—for you.
Property, including real estate and personal property, that is owned solely by you can be included in a will.
A trust is a legal vehicle that can hold assets. A will cannot hold assets.
