Estate planning is a practical way to protect your family and keep control over important decisions. A well-prepared plan makes clear who receives your assets, who can manage your affairs if you become incapacitated, and how medical decisions should be handled if you cannot speak for yourself. At Lexagor Law, we keep the process straightforward and tailored to your life.
A Last Will and Testament sets out how your property should be distributed after death. It also allows you to name an executor to carry out your instructions and, if applicable, designate a guardian for minor children. A properly drafted will reduces confusion and helps your loved ones follow your wishes.
A Trust can be used to hold and manage assets during your lifetime and after death. Trusts are often helpful when you want more control over when and how beneficiaries receive assets, when you want to protect assets for children or family members, or when you want to simplify the transfer process. Depending on the structure, a trust may also help avoid probate for certain assets.
A Durable Power of Attorney authorizes someone you trust to handle financial and legal matters on your behalf if you become unable to do so. This can include paying bills, managing bank accounts, dealing with real estate or business matters, and handling other time-sensitive responsibilities. It is a key document for avoiding delays and ensuring continuity if you are incapacitated.
A Healthcare Proxy appoints a person to make medical decisions for you if you cannot make or communicate them yourself. A Living Will (Advance Directive) records your wishes about medical treatment, including the types of care you do or do not want in serious or end-of-life situations. Together, these documents help ensure your preferences are respected and reduce stress on family members during difficult moments.
We help you choose the right combination of documents, explain your options in plain language, and prepare a coordinated plan that reflects your goals, so you and your family have clarity, protection, and peace of mind.
