Living Will

Steps & Considerations in Estate Planning

A trust involves executing a trust deed, transferring of one’s estate to a trustee for the benefit of certain beneficiaries which may include the person creating the trust who is called the settlor/author of the Trust.
A will/testament is a legal declaration of a person’s intention with respect to their property which the person desires to be carried into effect after death. Thus, a will operates only after the death of the person. One must always make a will to pass on your property as per your wish.

Often a living will and a durable power of attorney, which appoints a healthcare proxy to carry out the end-of-life treatment plan set out in your living will, are used together. State laws vary, but as a rule, two physicians must attest that you are incapable of making your own medical decisions. A living will is revocable any time.
