Estate Planning
Do you own a house? A life insurance plan? A family heirloom? Do you have children, pets, or someone who depends on you for care? Then you need an estate plan. If you own assets of any kind – no matter how small it may seem to you – know that you have an estate and therefore need an estate plan.
Will Planning
We all love to plan for the future, to make big plans for the goals and dreams we want to achieve. But no one enjoys making plans for the worst-case scenario. When we think about sitting down with an attorney to discuss in detail what we want done with our assets after we pass away, we chicken out. But, death is certain, and creating a legal document that outlines your wishes will make life much easier for your loved ones after you pass.
Trusts
Trusts offer many benefits that are not available when you only have a will. A will is subject to probate which takes time to deal with. Your assets are not immediately available to your beneficiaries. A trust does not go through probate. Your designated trustee can immediately transfer assets to your beneficiaries without the time and fees associated with probating a will.
Powers of Attorney
We’re all getting older, and aging – wonderful as it – always takes its toll on us. In some cases, it happens that when people get to certain ages, they find that they are no longer able or interested in managing their legal or financial needs themselves. If this happens, you want to have the peace of mind that comes with knowing that whoever is making decisions on your behalf is making those you would want.
