In this easy-to-read guide, learn: What you can and can’t do with a will; How a living trust works; Your options for transferring assets to your spouse or partner; How to give your assets away while you are alive; How to use a durable power of attorney for health care—and what will happen if you become incapacitated without one; Controlling your death with a living will; How to leave a personal legacy; How to complete the process on your own or work with an estate attorney
