Wills

A Will is designed to help protect your loved ones and your assets. It can also help to name a "personal guardian" who can look after your children under 18 and look after the property meant for your young children until they come of age. A Will must also name an "executor," who is designated to ensure the wishes of the Will are achieved.

Power of Attorney

A Power of Attorney is a legalized document that nominates an individual to be your "Agent" and gives them the legal ability to make choices in regards to your property on your behalf if you are not in a position to be able to make those decisions yourself.

Healthcare Directive
