Estate planning involves preparing documents that describe how your affairs will be handled and who will make decisions if you cannot.
Probate is the court process that validates a will and oversees asset distribution, or it can be avoided through careful use of trusts.
Estate planning uses wills, trusts, durable powers of attorney, and healthcare directives to manage assets, healthcare decisions, and guardianship for minor children.
The core elements include wills, trusts, guardianship provisions, durable powers of attorney, and healthcare directives. Coordination with probate or trust administration ensures your plan is carried out as intended.
Common terms you will encounter when planning your estate and navigating probate.
A legal document that directs how your assets should be distributed after death and may name guardians for minor children.

A document that designates someone to act on your behalf for financial or legal matters if you are unable.
A person or organization named to receive assets under a will, trust, or policy.
