Your estate plan may include these legal documents:
A
power of attorney, which designates an agent, who is a person you trust who will help manage your finances and property if the need arises.
A
health care proxy, which names the person you want to have the authority to make medical decisions for you in case you become incapacitated.
A
living will, which states which types of medical treatment you do or do not want to receive if you are unable to make decisions for yourself at that time. Examples of preferences you can state in a living will include not wanting to be resuscitated or not wanting to receive mechanical respiration or artificial hydration.
Wills and trusts are legal documents that give instructions for how you want your assets to be distributed and other instructions that you want carried out on your behalf.
