Wills, Living Wills & Powers of Attorney in Indiana

The Cornerstones of an Estate Plan

Every sound estate plan begins with two foundational documents: a will and powers of attorney. At Todd Uzelac Law, our Indiana will attorney works closely with individuals and families to create documents that reflect their values, goals, and loved ones’ needs. These tools ensure your wishes are carried out clearly, whether for property distribution or personal care decisions.

Last Will and Testament

What a Will Does

Your will specifies how your property is distributed, appoints guardians for minor children, and names an executor to manage your estate.

Dying Without a Will in Indiana

Without a valid will, state law decides who inherits your property, often causing unintended outcomes. Our team helps prevent this by drafting clear, enforceable documents that align with your wishes.

Financial Power of Attorney

A financial power of attorney allows a trusted person to manage your finances, pay bills, and make critical decisions if you’re unable to do so.

Healthcare Power of Attorney and Living Will

These documents outline who can make medical choices on your behalf and what kind of care you prefer. They are essential for ensuring your healthcare decisions are respected in any circumstance.

Common Questions About Wills & Powers of Attorney

  • What happens if I don’t have a will?

    Without one, Indiana’s intestacy rules determine asset distribution, often leading to results you wouldn’t have chosen.

  • At what age should I get a power of attorney?

    Any adult can benefit from these documents. They’re not just for seniors—they protect everyone from unexpected incapacity.

  • Can I write my own will, or do I need a lawyer?

    DIY templates can lead to errors or invalid documents. Working with an experienced attorney ensures your plan stands up in court.

  • How often should a will be updated?

    We recommend reviewing your will every few years or after major life events such as marriage, divorce, or relocation.
