If you don't have a Will or Trust in place you could cost your family time and money when you pass away. If you don't have a Will or Trust in place the probate process could take a minimum of six to nine months depending on the state you live in.
What's In Your Estate Plan? is a recent blog post where I go into more detail about what should be in your Estate Plan. Most people think that estate planning just includes a will. While a will is a beneficial document, other documents should be included in your estate plan.
- A will (also called a last will and testament)
- An advanced medical directive (medical power of attorney)
- A living will
- A financial power of attorney
- A revocable living trust
