    • Getting help with creating and managing a will is an important step to take in your life. If you want your property to go to specific people after you die, or to name who will be responsible for making sure your wishes are carried out, or to avoid legal issues, a wills lawyer can help.

      Use FindLaw to find a wills lawyer near you to prepare a will tailored to your circumstances. You can also find a wills lawyer to help you with living wills -- also known as an advance directive or medical power of attorney -- last will and testaments, and joint or reciprocal wills.

    A will – often called a last will and testament – provides for how your property and final affairs will be dealt with after you die. The last will and testament is the most common legal document used in estate planning, to provide for what you want to do with your assets after you pass away. It can be difficult to address estate planning. Talking to your family about end-of-life decisions is a sensitive matter. An estate planning lawyer can provide options and legal advice about wills, trusts, and how to handle your estate.

    • A will is not the only estate planning option. There are several estate planning options that can be used to control what happens to your property and assets after you pass away. Living trusts provide for many options to determine how family members, friends, or charities can be provided for after death.

      You can avoid the legal process of probate with a revocable living trust. Probate can add additional delays and costs to distributing the estate assets. A trust may be a better option than a will if you have specific desires for how people are provided for, what happens with your assets, or you have property in multiple states.

      Another important estate planning tool is known as a living will. Also called an advance directive or health care directive, it provides for your wishes while you are still alive but may be unable to communicate your decisions. For example, if you suffer a serious medical event like a stroke, you may not be able to speak or communicate to health care workers about your wishes. A living will can provide for what kind of medical treatment you may or may not want. A living will can also name a health care agent to make important medical decisions on your behalf.
