• Standard Will - A Standard Will specifies what is to be done with your property when you die and name your executor. (An executor manages your estate and distributes your assets as specified in your Will.) You can also use your Will to name a guardian for your young children.
• Living Will - A Living Will is a written document that contains a person's wishes regarding the use of extraordinary life-support or other life-sustaining medical treatment when the person's condition is medically without hope of recovery or death is imminent.
• Power of Attorney for Health Care - Grant someone permission to make medical decisions for you if you are unable to make those decisions yourself. The person you name to represent you may be called an agent, attorney-in-fact, healthcare proxy, patient advocate or something similar, depending on where you live.
• Durable Power of Attorney - A Durable Power of Attorney is a legal document you can create to grant someone permission to make financial decisions for you if you are unable to make those decisions yourself, for example to pay your bills, deposit your paycheck, etc.
• Medical Treatment Authorization for Minors - This document is for use by parents to authorize medical personnel to treat a child in the event a parent is not present. This document is necessary because children may not be able to receive medical treatment without parental consent unless it is a matter of life and death.
