- Creating a last will and testament
- Limiting estate taxes by setting up specific trusts

- Naming an executor of the estate to oversee the terms of the last will and testament
- Creating/updating beneficiaries on plans such as life insurance, IRAs and 401(k)s

- Setting up a durable power of attorney (naming your agent) to direct other assets and investments
