All estate plans should look differently—a one size fits all approach isn't going to work for most people. This is because estate plans are tailored to your specific circumstances and needs. Here is a list of documents that may be included in your estate plan. This isn’t an all-inclusive list, but it’s a great place to get started.
The Basics:
Letter of Instruction
Healthcare:
Advanced Healthcare Directives (DNR, DNI, Organ Donation, etc.)
Trusts:
Irrevocable Trust
Pet Trust
End of Life Events:
Death Notice / Obituary
