Estate Planning Matters

Another important area of the law that our firm takes care of is estate planning. Wills, trusts, and powers of attorney are all estate planning tools that can help you protect your estate in the future and bestow the proper rights to your heirs and beneficiaries. 

Cross Law Office can help you better understand what estate planning tools you should take advantage of based on your situation. Generally, most individuals will consider the following:

• A will – A “last will and testament” can specify who you want to leave your property to upon your death, a personal guardian for your minor children, a trusted individual to manage any property left behind, and an executor to oversee the will after your death.
• A trust – A revocable trust is funded with property (e.g., bank accounts, real estate) that will be bestowed upon named beneficiaries after your death.
• A Power of Attorney (POA) – A legal document allowing a named agent to make certain medical decisions for the principal, such as about a medical procedure, treatment, intervention, or other measure.
