Wills and Trusts
Wills and trusts form the cornerstone of a strong estate plan, ensuring that your assets are distributed according to your wishes while minimizing complications for your loved ones.
- Wills: A will is a legal document that directs how your property should be distributed and appoints an executor to manage your estate. Fox & Moghul can help ensure that your will meets all legal requirements and accurately reflects your intentions.
- Trusts: Trusts offer flexibility and benefits such as probate avoidance and tax advantages. Fox & Moghul can help you establish living trusts, revocable trusts, or irrevocable trusts based on your specific needs.
Powers of Attorney
A power of attorney allows you to appoint someone you trust to handle important decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. Fox & Moghul will ensure that these documents are comprehensive and enforceable.
- Financial Power of Attorney: You can designate an agent to manage your finances, including paying bills, handling bank accounts, and overseeing investments.
- Healthcare Power of Attorney: You can authorize a trusted individual to make decisions about your medical care if you are unable to do so.
Living Wills and Trusts
You can use a living will to outline your preferences for medical treatment and end-of-life care, providing clear guidance to loved ones and healthcare providers. Living trusts can ensure that your assets will be managed efficiently during your lifetime and that they can be transferred seamlessly to beneficiaries after your death. Fox & Moghul assists clients in creating living wills and trusts that align with their personal and financial goals.
