Wills
In its most simple form, a Will sets forth your wishes regarding who should receive your property after you die. A Will also names the person who will be in charge of administering your estate (the process of filing papers with the court, collecting your assets, paying your debts and distributing your property according to your wishes). Through a Will you may also nominate a guardian to care for your children.

Durable Financial Powers of Attorney
A Financial Power of Attorney is a document in which you name the person who will handle your finances if you are sick or injured and unable to communicate your wishes and make decisions.

Durable Healthcare Powers of Attorney
A Healthcare Power of Attorney is a document which names the person who will make medical decisions for you if you are sick or injured and unable to communicate your wishes and make decisions. This person should be someone who will advocate for your care, consult with your doctors about your care and decide your course of medical treatment.

Living Wills
A Living Will is a document in which you state your wishes regarding life-sustaining measures in the event that you are in a terminal state or in a permanent coma.
