Estate Planning Tools and Documents

An estate planning attorney in Celina can help you prepare and execute any of the following estate planning documents:


Power of Attorney – This is a document that names an individual as someone who can manage personal or business matters on your behalf should you be incapacitated or require assistance.


Will – This document establishes the persons or causes that will receive your assets upon death. It names an executor to perform these duties and a guardian for underage children.


Living Will – It may also be referred to as a Directive to Physicians. It lets you declare what medical care you should receive or have withheld in the event of incapacity or terminal illness. A living will is activated when you are unable to express your preferences.

Medical Power of Attorney – This tool is also called a healthcare proxy. It designates an agent to make decisions on the medical treatment you should receive if you are incapacitated.


Designation of Guardian – Allows you to designate a preferred guardian for yourself or minor children in the event you become incapacitated or die. You can also indicate persons you would not want to perform this role.


Revocable Living Trust – This document allows you to move property into the trust and continue managing it while alive. Living trusts do not go through probate and can let you plan for incapacity.


HIPAA Release – This authorizes an agent to have access to your medical records. It allows them to help you make medical treatment decisions.


Irrevocable Trust – With an irrevocable trust, property is permanently transferred into the trust. This decision cannot be modified or alerted and can be created to plan long-term care for people with special needs. It can also be used to protect your assets from taxes and creditors.
