A "Will" is a written instrument which a probate court declares to be a deceased adult's valid instructions for the payment of debts, the disposition of property, the nomination of guardians of minor children if any, and the appointment of a fiduciary to administer a probate estate. Only adult persons (over 18 years of age) may make a Will.
Powers of Attorney (POA) are written instruments which you, "the principal" use to give specific powers over your property and business affairs to a third-party agent, called an "attorney-in-fact". You can give your agent very broad or very limited powers. POAs are often used in the event of illness or disability, or when you can't be present to sign legal documents or make financial transactions.
An Ohio Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care is the instrument you use to express your instructions and intentions to family and physicians if you are unable to communicate and to designate and empower persons you chose to make decisions for you, including the authority to consent to treatment or to withhold consent to life-prolonging treatment in the event your body can no longer function on its own.
Probate is the legal process for administering a deceased person's estate - collecting the assets, paying the bills, distributing property to heirs and beneficiaries - after the death.
If you have a Last Will and Testament, probate administration will involve proving that your Will is valid, appointment of your chosen executor to execute your instructions, paying your bills and taxes, and distributing the remainder to your heirs and beneficiaries.

Report
My husband and I went to Tim in order to discuss our estate plan and have a will drawn up. Tim sat with us for quite a while and worked through what it was we were looking for, and the most effective way to ensure that our wishes would be followed. I have referred others to him for these services and he has provided invaluable guidance.
Since drawing up our will, I have also gone to Tim for consultation around disability rights, Medicaid waivers, guardianship, and questions around power of attorney. He has worked as a volunteer guardian for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities
