Estate Planning includes:

2. Planning for minors (Setting up guardianship designations or special needs trusts),
3. Utilizing tax mitigation strategies (for example the current gift tax exemption),
4. Creating a form of asset protection (from creditors and predators or as a form of marital asset protection),
5. Setting up healthcare proxies ( giving someone your trust the ability to make healthcare decisions for you in the event you are unable to do it for yourself),
6. Setting up Power of Attorney (enabling someone to make executive decisions regarding your assets and finances in the event you are unable to and it is necessary),
7. Medicaid or Retirement Planning (Divesting yourself of assets to qualify for Medicaid or Government subsidies),
8. End of life planning using living will or last directive (Indicating burial requests and tube feeding or resuscitation in the event it is necessary).
