New Britain Wills Attorney
A will is an indispensable estate planning tool. A well-crafted will reduces the control of probate court while maintaining your privacy. A will can identify your intentions concerning the distribution of your assets and finances. It also makes known and protects your decisions regarding your end of life health care decisions.We attempt to make the process of preparing your last will & testament as smooth and efficient as possible. Please click on our Will Questionnaire to complete and submit the form. With the information provided on this form, we can prepare the Last Will & Testament and send it back to you for a final review. When we have a final draft of your Will, we will schedule a meeting to properly sign the documents before 2 disinterested witnesses and a notary public. Under certain circumstances, we will travel to you for the Will signing.
In addition to your Last Will & Testament, it is important to have a Power of Attorney and a Living Will/Healthcare Directive & Appointment of Healthcare Agent. The Power of Attorney is a document which allows you to appoint a family member or other person whom you trust to sign various types of legal documents in the event that you are unable to do so. The Living Will is a legal document that allows you to make your wishes known regarding life support and other life prolonging medical treatments. The Living Will is also known as an Advance Healthcare Directive or Appointment of Healthcare Agent. The Last Will and Testament, Living Will and Power of Attorney are all prepared together and we refer to this as you "Will Package".
