45+ Documents

The Living Revocable Trust has 3 main protections for the family of a 45+ year-old that passes away.

A properly executed and funded Revocable Living Trust keeps your assets out of probate. The probate process can be extremely time consuming and expensive for your family. If all your assets are in the name of your trust, your family will have immediate access to them in the event of your passing.
A properly structured Revocable Living Trust can protect your assets from the future creditors of your surviving spouse and children
A properly structured Revocable Living Trust will prevent your children or other beneficiaries from inheriting money if they are suffering from an addiction to drugs, alcohol or gambling.

The Last Will and Testament

When executed with a Living Revocable Trust your Last Will and Testament a pour over will. This means that if you accidentally leave an asset outside of the trust, the asset must go through probate but it will pour over into your trust.
In your Last Will, you nominate the people who will be the guardians of your minor children in the event of your death.
If you do not execute a trust, your Last Will states who receives your assets.

The Medical Power of Attorney

In this document, you decide who will make medical decisions for you when you can’t. For instance, if you are in a car accident and are not able to communicate with your doctors, and the doctors could perform a high risk-high reward surgery or a low risk-low reward surgery, someone has to make that decision for you. Your medical power of attorney would do just that.

The General Financial Power of Attorney

In this document, you decide who will make financial decisions for you when you can’t. For instance, if you are in a car accident and are unable to communicate, your financial power of attorney step into your shoes and make any financial decisions that must be made while you recover.

The Living Will

In this document, you will decide what you want done if you are in an irreversible coma or a persistent vegetative state.
