The following gives a more detailed view of what you might encounter when preparing an estate plan.
Estate Planning
A comprehensive Estate Plan comprises various documents to facilitate the smooth execution of your wishes in the event of your passing or incapacitation.
These documents typically encompass:
- Last Will and Testament
- Testamentary Trust (integral part of your Will)
- Advanced Healthcare Directive
- Superannuation Binding Nominations
- Insurance Policies
- Powers of Attorney
Additionally, an Estate Plan may address directives for situations where you are unable to make decisions with a sound mind. This aspect of the plan may involve:
- Power of Guardianship (granting authority to choose residence and make medical decisions)
- Anticipatory Directives (guidance for future medical treatment)
- Additional Powers of Attorney
Each individual’s needs may vary, and the creation of an Estate Plan involves several documents. However, the process doesn’t have to be costly. The first thing to do is speak to a financial planner who can guide on how detailed an estate plan is recommended for your point in life taking into account your circumstances. Your financial planner can then guide you through the process in conjunction with an external advisor to prepare the appropriate legal documents to execute your wishes.
