What each document actually does
Before you pick, here’s what each document is for — in plain English. Click any card to go straight to it.
Will (who gets what when you die)
Says who inherits your money, home and belongings, who looks after any under-18 children, and who carries out your wishes (your executor). Without a will, the law decides — not you.
See Simple & Normal WillsEPAs (who acts for you if you can’t)
An EPA (Enduring Power of Attorney) names someone to step in if you lose capacity — one for your money and property, and one for your care and welfare. Without them, your family may need court orders.
See the EPAsDirectives (your healthcare & funeral wishes)
Your Advance Healthcare Directive tells doctors what treatment you do and don’t want. Your Funeral Directive says what should happen when you die. They spare your family guesswork at the worst time.
