Is the will legally valid?

Yes — Trust & Will documents are state-specific and valid in all 50 states when properly signed and witnessed.

What is the difference between a will and a trust?

A will goes through probate (public court process). A living trust avoids probate and transfers assets directly to beneficiaries.

What estate planning documents does a senior actually need, and what is the fastest way to get them in place?

A basic estate plan for most seniors requires four documents: a last will and testament, a durable power of attorney, a healthcare directive (or living will), and a healthcare proxy designation. Without them, a court may appoint someone to make decisions in an emergency rather than the person the senior would choose.
