Frequently Asked Questions About Estate Planning
Here’s what families like yours often ask.
What documents are included in an estate plan?
A comprehensive plan often includes a will, living trust, financial power of attorney, medical power of attorney, and sometimes deeds or advance directives. Julie will walk you through which are right for your situation.
What’s the difference between a will and a trust?
A will directs how assets are distributed after your passing — but it goes through probate. A trust allows assets to transfer outside probate, often faster and more privately.
Do I really need a power of attorney?
Yes. Powers of attorney allow someone you trust to act on your behalf if you’re ever incapacitated. Without one, your loved ones may have to go through court to get the authority they need.
How often should I update my estate plan?
Every 3–5 years, or sooner if there’s a major life change like a marriage, divorce, birth, death, or significant shift in assets.
Is estate planning only for the wealthy?
Absolutely not. If you own property, have children, or simply want to make your wishes known, an estate plan is essential — no matter the size of your estate.
