Will, Trust & POA: Protect Your Family in 2025

Legal Documents
September 27, 2025•1 min read

Planning ahead doesn’t have to be complicated — but it does need to be complete. Every family should have three essential documents: a power of attorney, a will, and a trust.

Power of Attorney: Handling Life’s “What Ifs”

  • Allows someone you trust to make decisions if you can’t

  • Covers medical and financial authority

  • Critical for aging parents and adult children alike

Will: Your Basic Plan

  • Directs where your property goes

  • Names guardians for children

  • Becomes the default plan if no trust is in place

Trust: Your Comprehensive Plan

  • Avoids probate

  • Protects assets from unnecessary loss

  • Allows detailed, private instructions for family

Why All Three Matter Together
Having one or two is good, but having all three ensures there are no gaps in your plan.

These three documents are the foundation of family protection. Don’t wait until it’s too late.
