It controls the disposition of your property, provides for guardianship
of minor children, and may cover other areas such as funeral desires.
A will is not effective until death.
Advance Medical Directives: A Healthcare Power of Attorney is a document that allows
you to choose a person (an Agent) who will have the authority to make healthcare
decisions for you if you are unconscious, mentally incompetent, or otherwise unable to
make such decisions. A Living Will allows you to communicate in writing your wishes
concerning life-sustaining and end-of-life treatement.

trusted person to act on your behalf in areas such as banking transactions,
business transactions, selling of real estate and personal property, and taxes.
Note that certain military offices, such as Finance
or Personnel offices, are unlikely to accept General Powers of Attorney.
