As you make a blueprint for the new year, we invite you to add a straightforward goal to your list.
You may hear the term “fiduciary” mentioned by your lawyer, financial advisor, bank, or friends/ family. Although some have a general concept of what the term means in the corporate or business context, many remain unaware of what the term encompasses and implies in the estate-planning world. Understanding the term and the depth of obligation it entails is an essential element to the estate-planning process.
So, you may be asking: where do I start? Estate planning typically involves creation of basic documents, such as a Last Will and Testament, Living Will, Medical Power of Attorney, Financial Power of Attorney, and a Disposition of Last Remains.

Legacy Planning & Probate is here to simplify the process, address your needs, and provide you with peace of mind. Read on for some additional information and tips to get the process moving.
