So I always say at least two people placed on your power of attorney.
And then the last, which I don't give a lot of deference to, is the will.
I know it's important.
People come to me, they call me and say, Asha, I need a will.
But nowadays, 2025, it's a catch-all document.
If you didn't do anything else during your lifetime to plan for your life,
then fine, you're going to force your loved ones, your kids to go to court and deal with it in front of a judge.
But if you've made some smart decisions, not even involving an attorney, adding beneficiary designations, filling out all the correct forms, then you don't need to use that will in your lifetime.
I tell my clients all the time, I hope they never have to use it, but we sign it anyway, just in case.
Sure.
So a will is a document that is a letter.
It's like a list of instructions you are showing to the judge.
No one else is looking at this will.
The judge is looking at this will in court.
So that means...
A judge is involved, a court is involved, there's filing fees involved, and it is public.
And so these are all things that we want to avoid nowadays.
So when you write, hey, when I pass away, these are all the things I want to happen, that is for the judge in court, in public.
And a trust, same thing, list of instructions.
but it's only for your trustee, someone you trust, a person you designate, and it is completely private.
