Living Will: this is a legal document that allows you to express your wishes to doctors in case you become incapacitated. It allows you to establish your wishes for or against prolonged life processes in the event of a devastating illness or injury.

Living Trust: this document allows you to transfer all your property, assets, bank accounts, securities, real estate to a person or persons you “Trust”. You no longer own these assets, the “Trust” does. You still have access to all these assets while you are alive. You instruct your Trust to pay out all income to you during your lifetime, and on your death whatever is left would be given to your beneficiaries.

Medical Power Of Attorney: also known as a health care proxy, this document allows you to designate someone to make health care decisions for you in the event that you can no longer do so for yourself.

Durable Family Power Of Attorney: this document enables you to appoint someone else to act on your behalf on matters that you specify. This person should be someone you trust completely to manage your affairs. This person will be legally able to carry out your wishes and act as you would choose or with your best interests in mind.

Estate Planning: Your "estate" consists of all property owned by you at the time of your death. These properties can include real estate, bank accounts, stocks and securities, life insurance policies as well as automobiles, jewelry and artwork. Estate Planning allows you to identify who should receive these assets at the time of your passing.
Each of the above-mentioned areas is of great concern in the event that a person should become mentally incapacitated or incompetent due to accident or illness. These concerns can be properly planned for with the help of a professional will and probate attorney Mark P. Bockstein.
