Wills and powers of attorney

The three papers every adult should have, drafted for your family and signed with the witnesses and notary arranged for you.

A will says who receives what you own and who looks after your children. A durable power of attorney lets someone you trust pay the bills and deal with the bank if you can't. An advance medical directive names who speaks with your doctors, and says what you want.

We draft all three together, explain each in a one-page summary, and arrange the signing at our office or at your home.

Questions

Questions about this plan

Do I need a will if I don't own much?

Usually, yes. A will names guardians for children and an executor you trust, which matters whatever the estate is worth. Without one, the state's rules decide who inherits and who is in charge.

What does a power of attorney let someone do?

Whatever the document says: commonly paying bills, managing accounts, filing taxes and dealing with benefits. A durable one keeps working if you become unable to decide for yourself, which is when it's needed.

Can we sign by video?

We meet by video, but a will is signed in front of witnesses, and the power of attorney in front of a notary. We arrange both, at our office or at your home.
