Power of Attorney:  Florida Power of Attorney is a legal document delegating authority from one person to another, for the other to act on his or her behalf with regard to matters other than health care.  This document is an essential part of your estate plan, as it allows your representative to act on your behalf in the event you are unable to do so yourself.

Living Will: A Living Will is a statement about your desired medical decisions if you are unable to make a decision due to incapacity. Living Wills are also called “advanced directives.” One example of a provision typically included in a Living Will is “Do Not Resuscitate.” In instances where the individual is incapable of making a medical decision, if there is a question of whether to resuscitate them, the medical provider would follow the instruction in the Living Will. Many people will include decisions about life support or maintenance in their Living Will. 

Trust: By creating a Trust, you can pass on your assets to your loved ones ad avoid the future expense of probate. You can also control how and when your assets are gifted through the trust, such as accommodating for a minor child, or disabled relative.
