WILLS ARE THE HEART OF EVERY ESTATE PLAN -- also known as a last will and testament. This legal document puts you in control of who inherits your property and who would take care of your children if it were ever necessary. Without a will, state law determines these issues. Your will also allows you to name an executor (sometimes called a “personal representative”) to carry out our wishes. And you can appoint a trusted person to manage property left to young people. With WillMaker, you can revise and update your will whenever you like.
LIVING TRUSTS HELP YOUR ESTATE AVOID PROBATE -- Like a will, a living trust distributes property to the people you name after you die. But unlike a will, property that passes through a living trust can be passed directly to your beneficiaries, without waiting for court approval -- saving your beneficiaries time and money. Quicken WillMaker & Trust includes individual living trusts, shared living trusts (for couples), trust revocations, and certifications of trust.
HOME AND PERSONAL FINANCE FORMS -- Quicken WillMaker & Trust also includes dozens of simple forms for you and your family to use when you need them. For example, you can make a Childcare Agreement, Authorization to Drive a Motor Vehicle, House sitting Instructions, General Bill of Sale, and several others.
TRANSFER ON DEATH DEEDS -- Use the Quicken WillMaker & Trust transfer on death deeds to transfer your home to your beneficiaries when you die, without probate. Before your death, you still own the property, and you can revoke the deed (or make a new one) at any time. Like living trusts, transfer on death deeds keep the property out of probate. Like wills, they are simple to make, revise, and revoke.
HEALTH CARE DIRECTIVES -- Health Care Directives allow you to lay out your wishes for medical care (living will) and name someone to carry out your instructions (power of attorney for health care). The health care directives you make with Quicken WillMaker & Trust provide guidance for your loved ones if you are not able to make medical decisions for yourself. Making your wishes known (and legally binding) can spare your loved ones uncertainty and conflict during a difficult time.
DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR FINANCES -- A durable power of attorney ensures that someone you trust (called your “agent” or “attorney-in-fact”) will be on hand to manage the practical, financial tasks that will arise if you become incapacitated. For example, bills must be paid, bank deposits must be made, and someone must manage insurance and benefits paperwork. In most cases, a durable power of attorney for finances is the best way to take care of tasks like these.
FINAL ARRANGEMENTS & LETTERS TO SURVIVORS -- Ease the burden on your loved ones by leaving clear descriptions about your preferences for burial, cremation, memorials, obituaries, and more. Use the Letter to Survivors to leave your loved ones detailed explanations about your decisions. For example, you may want to let them know why you made certain gifts or named a particular person to be your executor. You can also use your letter to leave general thoughts about your life.
