Lawyers Providing Valuable Estate Planning Guidance

A carefully structured estate plan can be valuable for several reasons. It permits beneficiaries to have a clear understanding of your intentions. Further, estate planning instruments can minimize tax implications and protect your estate from creditors. Also, in the event you become incapacitated, an estate plan can provide valuable guidance to your loved ones. Establishing a clear estate plan will provide you with peace of mind knowing you have the right safeguards in place. Additionally, upon your passing, a well-drafted estate plan permits your loved ones to grieve, and not deal with the headaches associated with lack of proper planning.

What Happens If I Do Not Have An Estate Plan?

If you do not have a will or trust in place when you pass away, your property is subject to intestacy laws. The law prescribes a method for distributing your assets. While this may be in line with your wishes, there is no guarantee. Planning your own estate often gives the power to you to decide who gets your hard-earned assets.

Do I Need An Estate Plan If I Am Healthy?

Yes. If you are healthy, it is an ideal time to plan for your estate. You are in complete control of your faculties and have time to adjust your plan as needed. Many illnesses and accidents occur without warning. Leverage the time you have now so you have a plan in place should the worst happen.

Is A Will Or A Trust A Better Option?

Choosing between a will and trust may seem complex. We believe less is more and will choose the simplest and most economical way to meet your estate planning needs and goals. The choice depends on your assets, family situation and a host of other factors. Our attorneys can better explain trusts and advise you at your consultation.

Can I Change My Estate Plan After I Make It?

As long as you still have capacity, then usually, yes. There are many reasons to change your estate plan. Your children will become adults; you may get a divorce; your financials may change significantly. In this case, our estate planning lawyer can guide you through changing your estate plan.
