Essential Package

The foundation every adult should have in place

Why it matters

The Essential Package includes a will, power of attorney, health care proxy, and a living will. Each document solves a different problem. A will controls assets passing through the estate and appoints guardians for minor children. A power of attorney allows someone to handle financial matters during incapacity. A health care proxy authorizes medical decision-making. A living will communicates philosophical and practical wishes about medical intervention as well as end-of-life wishes. Without these documents in place, the powers that be often make these decisions, authority does not inherently rest with your closest loved ones.  

The real value is not simply deciding who gets what. It is giving the people you trust clear legal authority to act, minimizing the burden on your family, and making sure the default rules imposed by the state do not determine deeply personal decisions for you.

Who needs it

Individuals, couples, and young families who want straightforward, comprehensive protection that they know will be effective and tailored to them and their loved ones needs. This is an affordable plan for all, and one that is needed by all.

“My husband and I hired the Fischer Harbage team to do our will and related documents. They were a joy to work with— kind, patient, understanding, efficient, and thorough. I believe that thier services are also quite affordable compared to other estate lawyers. Could not recommend them more highly!”
