Trusts

A trust is a separate legal entity set up to handle your affairs and to hold assets. A trust names beneficiaries who will receive benefits from the trust and indicates when benefits can be paid out. Trusts have many uses and can be an important part of your estate plan.

Powers of Attorney

A power of attorney is a legal document in which the principal gives authority to an agent to perform activities on the behalf of the principal. The powers given to an agent can involve financial matters and/or health care matters.

Mental Health Care Powers of Attorney

Mental health care powers of attorney are relatively new in Pennsylvania and can be particularly important if a loved one is dealing with ongoing mental health problems. It is an important document that can help a person you care about.
