Estate Planning

Estate Planning Documents

Estate planning is a crucial step in ensuring your assets and wishes are properly managed and honored. As a Notary Public, I play a vital role in verifying and notarizing essential estate planning documents. Here are some key documents to consider:

1. Last Will and Testament

A legally binding document that outlines how your assets will be distributed after your passing. A notary ensures its authenticity.

2. Living Trust

Helps avoid probate and ensures assets are transferred smoothly to beneficiaries. Notarization adds another layer of legitimacy.

3. Power of Attorney

Grants someone the legal authority to act on your behalf in financial or medical matters. Proper notarization is essential to avoid disputes.

4. Advance Healthcare Directive

Specifies your medical wishes in case you become incapacitated. A notary helps confirm your identity and intent.

5. Beneficiary Designations

Ensures your life insurance policies, retirement accounts, and other assets go to the intended recipients.

Conclusion

Having these documents properly notarized provides peace of mind and legal assurance. If you need assistance with estate planning documents, contact Larkin's Notary today!
