With a Simple Will they can establish her parents’ obligation to hold the value of the estate in trust for the children, using it for college expenses prior to the age of 21 years. Only at the designated age will the children be full beneficiaries of the estate. A valid Simple Will allows them to accomplish this goal.

  13. Living Will If by some accident or catastrophic illness you become comatose and vegetative, a Living Will is a legal document that allows you to make your own decision, in advance and in writing, about whether you want to be kept alive indefinitely by artificial means.
