The purpose of a will is to dispose of your property as you desire, typically in a manner that you conclude is in the best interest of your intended beneficiaries. The purpose of a living will is to set out certain treatment care options should you become terminally ill. The purpose of either a financial or health-care power of attorney is to either name an agent to handle your health affairs if you are no longer able to make a health care decision for yourself or handle your financial affairs. All of these legal documents are best prepared after consultation with, and under the supervision of, an attorney.
These services are offered online through ARAG and allow you to create a will, a living will, and power of attorney documents. The identity theft resources include an identity theft prevention kit and an identity theft victim action kit.
As long as you are covered by the university life insurance plan, you will be able to change the documents with no charge.
