misinformation in the community and in social media. It is important to discuss your concerns
with an experienced professional.

ESSENTIAL DOCUMENTS
Wills, Living Wills, Powers of Attorney and Health Care Proxies.
WILL:
This document controls the disposition of your assets on your death. It speaks only at
the time of your death and can be revoked or changed at any time prior to your death. Every
person should have one even if all assets are in joint names (for after acquired property and
possible death actions). It can also be used to reduce estate taxes and appoint guardians
for minor children.
LIVING WILL:
Similar to a Health care proxy, but it applies only to life support situations. It
is the declaration of YOUR wishes in this important area. By executing this document you
eliminate the need for family members to make these decisions.
POWER OF ATTORNEY:
Appoints a person (your Agent or Attorney in Fact) to act on your
behalf to manage your property in the event you are unavailable or unable to do so yourself.
Although it goes into effect immediately, by retaining possession of the document you can limit
its use until it is needed.
HEALTH CARE PROXY:
Appoints a person to make medical decisions for you in the
event you are unable to do so. It goes into effect only when you cannot act for yourself. You are
permitted to make your desires known by including them in the document. It can be considered a
medical power of attorney. It allows your agent to change medications or doctors, authorize
operations or other medical care.
