Estate Planning is the preparation for the management of your assets in the event of your death or incapacitation. With the help of your attorney, you will create a plan for how your property will be taken care of when you are unable to do so yourself. This involves creating a will, setting up trusts, naming an executor, and making funeral arrangements. Your estate planning attorney will ensure your plans are accurate and comprehensive.
When working with us to plan your estate, we will put together a complete list of your assets. From that list, we will create a will to provide clear instruction on how your affairs will be handled. This document will designate your beneficiaries, indicate the distribution of your assets, appoint an executor, and name a guardian for any dependents. If you need to set up any trusts to protect your assets, we will do so. We will also take care to plan for taxes in order to maximize what you are able to leave for your heirs.
Losing a family member or a loved one is hard enough. The probating of an estate adds a level of stress that amplifies the feeling of loss and grief. Our firm is uniquely suited to help you plan for the inevitable to make this process the least stressful possible. We strive to make sure that your wishes upon your passing are carried out exactly how you want them to be. We will be with you and your family from the drafting of your Will to the probating of your estate. Give us a call today and let us help you be prepared for the future.
Without creating a plan in advance for how you want your estate to be handled, you will have no say in how your assets are distributed. By planning ahead, you can ensure that your loved ones receive what you desire for them, any charitable donations you indicate are made, and minor children and dependents are placed in the care of the proper guardian. In short, estate planning guarantees that your affairs are taken care of according to your wishes.
