A living will states your preferences for medical care if you cannot express them yourself. It works alongside a durable power of attorney for health care, which authorizes someone you trust to make medical decisions on your behalf. Together, these documents guide treatment and prevent confusion during difficult times. Your care preferences remain central.
A trust is a legal arrangement where a trustee holds assets for beneficiaries according to defined terms. Trusts offer privacy, flexibility, and potential tax planning benefits and can minimize probate complexity. They are often used for family protection, business succession, or charitable goals, and require careful drafting to ensure funding and administration align with your overall plan.
