- Powers of Attorney which authorize a trusted person to act on your behalf in decisions related to property, finances, or medical care.
- Advance health care directives to direct end-of-life medical care.

What is Estate Planning?
Estate planning is not about money or morbid thoughts you would rather avoid. It is about the power to provide comfort and about giving your loved ones clear direction in a time of chaos. It creates a thoughtful strategy for bestowing the final gifts of your life in a way that will benefit your loved ones the most. Estate planning is about caring enough to prepare.
The field of estate planning deals with the protection and management of your estate. Among its many aspects are the arrangements for disability, long-term care, funeral expenses, financial affairs, business transfer, guardianship, conservatorship, inheritance, and special needs planning.
While thinking about estate planning makes many people uneasy, it is truly essential. Whether you regard yourself as middle class, wealthy, or somewhere in between, a legal plan is needed. You may not know where to start. You may wonder whether you should make a will with online tools or work with an experienced estate planning attorney in Bellevue and the Seattle metro area.
