Estate planning documents are legal documents that are used to plan for the management and distribution of a person's assets after their death. These documents can include a will, trust, power of attorney, health care directive, and other documents that are designed to ensure that the person's wishes are carried out and that their assets are distributed according to their wishes. Estate planning documents can also be used to plan for the care of minor children, provide for the care of a disabled family member, and provide for the transfer of assets to heirs.
