MyWillPros.com can help you prepare any of a variety of legal documents -- all with the help of an attorney in your area. But which document do you need? it all depends on what you want. MyWillPros.com provides five basic estate planning documents:

Last Will and Testament

A last will and Testament, in most cases, is a written document where you make a disposition of your property to take effect after your death. A Last Will and Testament goes through a process, called probate, where the court determines the validity of the document and then, with the help of the executor, makes sure the property is distributed accordingly to the named beneficiaries. more

Springing Durable Power of Attorney:

A Power of Attorney is a written instrument authorizing another person/s to act as your agent in all or in selected financial and legal matters. A Springing Durable Power of Attorney does not go into effect until you lack the capacity, as determined by a physician, to make these financial and legal decisions for yourself. Your agent would then have the ability to manage your financial and legal affairs for you. more

Health Care Directive:

A MyWillPros health care directive is an all encompassing health and medical care directive. It includes a living will, which addresses whether life support should be withdrawn in the case where you are rendered terminally ill and unable to make the decision for yourself, and a health care proxy (also known as a health care power of attorney) which allows you to assign an agent to make other important health care decisions for you should you be rendered unable to do so. more

Living Trust

A Revocable Living Trust is a written instrument where you, as the grantor or principal, transfer your property into a trust, created by you, during your lifetime. Within the instrument, you appoint a trustee, who is very often yourself, to administer the assets of the trust, and to pay out income and principal in accordance with the terms set forth in the trust. Generally, you, as the trustee, can use the income and principal from the trust as you wish during your lifetime. Upon your death, the remaining assets in the trust pass immediately on to those beneficiaries designated by you in the trust, without the process of probate court, as with a will. more

Power of Attorney

One of the most important things you can do for your family is to make sure their financial well-being -- and your own -- remains unshaken if you're ever incapacitated. You need to make sure a trusted friend, family member or colleague is making the right decisions for you.

A power-of-attorney document, or POA, is a written instrument authorizing another person or persons to act as your agent in all selected matters. It allows you to give someone the authority and responsibility to take control of your legal and financial matters if you're incapacitated due to mental or physical illness. It doesn't have to be a licensed attorney -- it can be anyone you trust.

MyWillPros.com can provide you with the proper documentation to assign power-of-attorney, and choose a lawyer in your area to help you make sure the papers are properly signed and valid in your state. We'll show you how to make a power-of-attorney document that holds up to scrutiny. Both you and your family need the assurance that comes with knowing that, if anything happens to you, the hard decisions will be made by a trusted friend. Your MyWillPros.com lawyer will make sure that happens.

Living Will (Including Health Care Proxy)

Your loved ones shouldn't have to decide whether or not to continue life support in the event that you're rendered comatose or vegetative. But without a living will addressing your wishes, that's just what they'll have to do.

A living will takes that decision out of your family's hands. A legal document that specifies your advance wishes in regards to artificial life support, it saves your loved ones the pain of deciding what to do should you fall terminally ill and unable to communicate. A living will includes a health care proxy, which appoints an individual to make decisions on your behalf relating to matters involving your health and medical care when you are rendered unable to make those decisions yourself.

MyWillPros.com can provide you with a living will, as well as a hand-picked attorney in your area who can help you make sure it's properly signed and valid in your state. You deserve the assurance that your wishes will be properly carried out -- and so does your family. Your lawyer, assigned my MyWillPros.com, will make sure that happens.

Health Care Proxy (Included in Living Will)

Every living will includes a health care proxy, or a written instrument appointing an individual who can make decisions on your behalf relating to your health and medical care when you are rendered unable to make those decisions yourself.
