2. What is “Life & Legacy Estate Planning®”?
Life & Legacy Estate Planning® is a holistic approach to estate planning that focuses on:

 Identifying and protecting your assets in accordance with your wishes and values
 Providing clarity for your loved ones, avoiding confusion, conflict and litigation
 Preparing for incapacity or unforeseen events
 Defining your long-term values and wishes clearly for successful administration

MRL’s service goes beyond a simple will or trust by creating a comprehensive customized plan
designed to preserve your legacy, identify risk, and reduce conflict.

3. Why is estate planning important even if I’m not wealthy?
 Estate planning isn’t only about money. It ensures:

 Your children, dependents, and assets are protected
 Someone you trust can manage your financial and medical decisions
 Your assets transfer smoothly without unnecessary conflict or court involvement
 Your personal values and wishes are honored
 Proper plans will not fail, avoiding family burdens from prolonged conflict

Everyone benefits from having a will, powers of attorney, and clear end-of-life instructions.

4. What’s the difference between a Will and a Trust?

A Will directs how assets are distributed after death and requires probate.

A Trust manages your assets during life and after death, offering:

 Privacy from public release

Mathura Resolution Law can help you decide which is best to achieve your specific priorities and
goals.
