Will Preparation
A well-written will gives you control, clarity, and peace of mind. We make the process simple. Our team walks you through every step, helping you create a will that protects your loved ones and ensures your wishes are clearly documented and easy to follow.
Understanding the Different Types of Wills
Wills are not one-size-fits-all. A Last Will and Testament covers your wishes and heirs, while a Pour-Over Will directs any missed assets into your trust. We can help you choose the right documents for your goals.
Pour-Over Will
A Pour-Over Will acts as a safety net for your trust. If you forget to move an asset into your trust while you are alive, this will directs those leftover assets to your trust after you pass away. It does not avoid probate, but it makes sure your trust instructions still control what happens to everything you own.
Last Will and Testament
A Last Will and Testament is your written direction for who should receive your property after you are gone. You can also name a guardian for minor children and an executor to handle your affairs. Without a will, state law decides who gets what, and your wishes might not be followed. A will must go through probate, which is a public court process that can take time.
Living Will
A Living Will is not a traditional will. Instead, it is a written guide for your medical care if you cannot speak for yourself. Most people create a Living Will alongside a Medical Power of Attorney to make sure their wishes are honored in any situation.
What a Living Will Covers:
- Outlines your wishes for life support, feeding tubes, and other critical care if you are terminally ill or permanently unconscious
- Helps your family and doctors know exactly what you want, so there is less stress or disagreement
- Applies only to healthcare choices, not to money or property
- Works best when paired with a Medical Power of Attorney, which lets someone you trust make other medical decisions for you
A Living Will takes the guesswork out of end-of-life care, giving you peace of mind and helping your loved ones avoid tough choices during a difficult time.

I came to RJP Estate Planning in both May and June this year to make some necessary changes to a Last Will and Testament. For both visits I dealt with Amy Klein. I wasn't completely certain about the finer details within the existing documents contained in the will. In fact, I wasn't even sure about what it was that I was looking to do. Amy's warmth and professionalism put me at ease right away. She took the time to listen to my personal situation, and to what I was looking to accomplish. She thoroughly reviewed all the documents to have a better understanding of my concerns. She went over the details with me and made sure I understood what everything meant, which I greatly appreciated. We ended up making a couple of necessary changes to the will, and within two weeks the new documents were ready for me to pick-up and sign. With Amy's guidance, thoughtfulness and expertise, I felt confident I had made the correct decision. Truth is, Amy was all ready to mail me the new and updated documents, but I preferred to go back to their lovely offices to collect it myself, as well as to enjoy a little visit and to thank Amy in person for her work. I would highly recommend Amy Klein and all of the RJP Estate Planning team for being so welcoming, accommodating, and informative. It's always a little unnerving when attempting to make estate planning decisions, but Amy made it a lot less complicated, and it turned out to be a rather enjoyable experience.

I was in today to work with Lenny Trujillo, and he was an absolutely wonderful help! Grandma got him talking about his recent trip to Europe between the details of the paperwork, and before we knew it everything was signed. He made us feel welcome and comfortable, and though I didn't get her name, the Notary had everything copied over in a jiffy. They helped improve our investments and made us feel welcome all at the same time, fast as lightning. I recommend RJP's services to everybody, definitely!
