Q. #1.  I have a Last Will and Testament and a Living Will.  Why do I need anything else? 

A.   In the event that you have been misinformed, please remember that a Last Will and Testament or a Testamentary Trust does NOT avoid the privacy-invading, time-consuming and costly probate process. In addition, this document is of no assistance should you become seriously incapacitated and unable to properly manage your personal and financial affairs. As to the Living Will, this document typically grants certain authority to your personal physician should he determine that you are terminally ill and no longer able to make your own decisions. Unfortunately a typical Living Will provides little or no authority to your children in this situation or in many other situations that might occur during your incapacity.
