Powers of Attorney
and Health Care Proxies
are important to have in place. Without those documents, if you become incapacitated, your family needs to go to court and the stress and cost to your family can be averted by having same in place.
Wills
can have trust provisions for minor children and special needs children. A trust
can end when you decide. Thus, if 18 is too young for your child to have the final say (which is what the state law age is on emancipation) on spending the trust, you can end it when your child reaches 22, 25 or 30. depending on your wishes.
Having a will in place allows your wishes to be controlling.
