A basic estate plan consists of the documents everyone needs in preparation for their death. They dispose of your assets, designate decision-makers for you, and give notice of your wishes to others.
These are the documents included in a basic estate plan:
Simple will
Durable Power of Attorney
Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care/Designation of Patient Advocate
HIPAA Designation
Also, you may consider creating a trust if your circumstances call for one.
