Estate Document Portfolio

Documents & Features
Included:
Revocable Living Trust
• The Revocable Living Trust is the centerpiece of your Estate Planning Portfolio.
• The trust is completely under your control. As the name implies, your trust is fully
revocable while you are alive. You may alter, amend (in whole or in part), or even
revoke your trust at any time. You can transfer your assets back out of your trust just
as easily as you can transfer your assets into your Trust.
• The person who manages the Trust is called the Trustee (in most cases you are the
Trustee initially). After your passing, the successor Trustee you appointed can
manage and distribute assets to the beneficiaries of the Trust.
• If you have children (even grown kids) you have the option of creating a sub-trust to
hold their assets until they reach a certain age or split distributions over time at three
different ages. This prevents a potentially immature young adult from receiving a
windfall that might cause more damage than good. You can even allow early
withdrawal for educational expenses, first home, wedding or even a business.
• You can even stipulate certain beneficiaries as "income only", and prevent them from
getting a "lump sum" distribution and allow them only to draw and income for
education, maintenance and support.
Living Will & Advanced Medical Directives
• Living Will and Advanced Health Care Directives allow you to determine how you
want medical care administered if you have a terminal illness or are in a comatose
state.
• If such a condition should happen to you, these instruments will serve to give notice
to medical professionals your wishes (such as if you desire whether or not to be kept
alive by artificial means).
• Your Living Will agents are also considered to be the guardian of your person. In
most cases, your Advanced Health Care Directive can take the place of a Living Will.
• Many healthcare providers require a Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare in
conjunction with a Living Will to carry out the decrees of a Living Will. It is important
that your agents for your Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare are the same as
your Living Will. (Both documents are included in your comprehensive estate plan.)
Durable HIPPA Statement
• The Durable HIPPA Statement grants an exception to the privacy restrictions of the
HIPPA law to allow for personal information to be provided to the Agents you have
appointed so they can make an informed decision regarding your medical care.

Durable Powers of Attorney (DPA)
• "Durable" means that the appointment of the power will "endure" even after your
incapacitation.
• A Power of Attorney will give your appointed agent the power to make certain
decisions on your behalf when you are unable to do so.
Durable Financial Power of Attorney
• This document appoints an agent(s) to perform financial decisions regarding any
assets not funded into your Trust at the time of your legal incapacitation. (For assets
already funded into the Trust, the Trustee already has this authority.)
• Not only do you get to decide who makes financial decisions on your behalf, you
also protect your privacy and save money by avoiding expensive court and legal
fees.
• Having a Durable Financial Power of Attorney will help help avoid a court-supervised
guardianship/conservatorship in the event of legal incapacitation where all finances
become a matter of public record.
Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare
• This document allows your appointed agent(s) to make important health care
decisions for you in the event of your incapacitation.
• In conjunction with your Living Will, your agent can make all important healthcare
decisions, including the continuation of life support systems
Durable Agent Notice
• The Durable Agent Notice serves to notify, in writing "to whom it concern" that your
agent has accepted the appointment and will carry out such duties.
Last Will & Testament “Pour Over Will”
• The Last Will and Testament included in your document set is better described as a
"Pour-Over Will". It is used in conjunction with a Revocable Living Trust and its
primary function is to convey everything you have forgotten to fund into the trust prior
to your death (hence "pour-over").
• Please note that unless your remaining assets are minimal in value, all non-trust (un-
funded) assets must go through probate first. So be sure to use the Comprehensive
Funding Kit (below) to keep your asset funding up-to-date.
• In addition you may appoint guardians for your minor or disabled adult dependents
so you can be assured who will take custody.
!1
Comprehensive Asset Funding Kit
• Your Trust is like an empty basket. You must fill this basket with your assets by transferring
them into the Trust. This process is called "Funding".
• To avoid probate, its vital to fully fund your trust once completed, so we have developed our
exclusive Funding Kit to help you through the process of moving your assets into the Trust,
(called "Funding").
• The Funding Kit provides detailed instructions on nearly every possible type of asset and how
you can fund it into your Trust.
• Transmittal Letters (for Funding, Retitlement & Beneficiary Changes)
• Our system will generate funding letters for each of your assets for you, just follow the guide.
• Retitlement letters can be mailed to respective agencies (transfer agents) for transfer of title.
• Beneficiary letters allow you to mail to respective agencies a change of beneficiary of your
various assets.
• There are other documents also included for other functions.
• 24/7 access to the Comprehensive Funding Kit: The key is to get organized, and make a list of
your assets. Don't worry if you do not have everything ready at once. You can login at any time
to continue the process and continue where you left off!
• Keep your trust up-to-date at no additional charge. When new assets are sold or acquired; log
back in to update your funding. Unlike other solutions there is no "change fees", as long as
your account is active you can log in and access all the features.
Certificate of Trust
• The Certificate of Trust is primarily for providing evidence to a transfer agent (brokers, bankers,
account managers etc.) about certain facts concerning your trust.
• This document helps protect your privacy by not disclosing the full details of your trust when
funding assets into your trust.
• Maintain Your Property's "Character"
• Asset Schedules are provided to list your titled assets.
• Your property will retain its "character", whether it is jointly owned or separately owned, asset
schedules are provided so you can identify each asset and classify it properly.
• The Asset Accounting Ledgers are to be used by the Trustee (usually the surviving spouse) to
designate assets as portioned or held on account to each respective sub trust for record
keeping.
Personal Password Protected Web Account
• Provides 24/7 access to ALL of your documents and all the following on-line functions:
Document Vault
• The Document Vault provides an easy-to-use resource for yourself, your family, and
beneficiaries to find your important documents.
• Secure online storage of important documents that you, your family, and trusted individuals can
access anywhere in the world in case of emergency.
• Quickly access your documents when traveling or on weekends to make them available to
emergency healthcare workers (such as your Health Care DPA, Living Will, and vital personal
