- Estate PlanningA will is an important part of estate planning. There are various reasons to have a will, even if you have already established a trust. The will names the person trusted to handle the transfer of the property and assets, and also directs the transfer. Another roll of a will is to appoint a guardian for minor children, or dependents with special needs. A will is also the place for the decedent to clarify the status of a former spouse or step-children, to help avoid disputes or confusion in the matter.

- Power of AttorneySometimes called an Advance Medical Directive, a living will allows you to state your wishes in advance regarding what types of medical life support measures you prefer to have, or have withheld/withdrawn if you are in a terminal condition (without reasonable hope of recovery) and cannot express your wishes yourself. Oftentimes a living will is executed along with a Durable Power of Attorney for Health care, which gives someone legal authority to make your health care decisions when you are unable to do so yourself.

- Tax LawTrusts come in many "flavors," they can be simple or complex, and serve a variety of legal, personal, investment or tax planning purposes. At the most basic level, a trust is a legal entity with at least three parties involved: the trust-maker, the trustee (trust manager), and the trust beneficiary. Oftentimes, all three parties are represented by one person or a married couple. In the case of a revocable living trust, for example, a person may create a trust (the trust-maker) and name themselves the current trustees (trust managers) who manage the trust assets for their own benefit (trust beneficiary).
