The term estate planning is used to describe a set of documents that each address a distinct need.
Documents like health care powers of attorney or financial powers of attorney ensure that people specifically chosen are in place and on-standby to assist with medical decisions or financial or legal decisions as needed.
Trusts established during life also ensure for ongoing management of assets and that those assets titled and managed in the Trust will be distributed according to the specific directions written in the Trust document.
A Revocable Trust (also called "Inter-Vivos Trust" or "Living Trust") is an estate planning device many clients choose to use.
A Trust accomplishes all the purposes of a Will with respect to a person's assets without requiring the involvement of a probate court.
Generally, this moves the property to the intended beneficiaries with less delay, cost, and controversy.
However, lack of formal court oversight can lead to disputes if family members (or unrelated beneficiaries) do not trust each other.
