Planning for Disability Although the majority of estate planning involves planning for the management and transfer of assets upon death or disability with as little court involvement, costs and taxes as possible, a complete estate plan must also assist you in managing your financial and health care concerns in the event of a future illness or incapacity. The Durable Power of Attorney and Health Care Directives such as the Living Will Declaration and Appointment of Health Care Representative are essential documents needed to address your financial and health care concerns.
