    A simpler path to estate planning

    Create and Maintain Your Estate-Planning Documents Online

    MB Wealth Advisors offers clients access to Trust & Will’s online estate-planning platform, providing a convenient way to create and maintain estate-planning documents through a secure online process.

    Trust & Will offers both will-based and trust-based estate plans. Depending on the plan selected, available documents may include a Last Will and Testament or Revocable Living Trust, Power of Attorney, Advance Healthcare Directive and HIPAA Authorization.

    Wills and trusts serve different purposes. Assets properly transferred to an established and funded trust may pass outside probate, while assets governed by a will generally remain subject to the probate process.

    Michael can help clients consider how their estate-planning documents coordinate with their beneficiary designations, investments, retirement accounts and insurance. Legal documents are created through the Trust & Will platform; Michael does not draft legal documents or provide legal advice.
