Estate Planning
Estate Planning is not just planning for who gets your property when you are gone. By planning now for a time when you are no longer there, you are taking care of the loved ones you are going to have to leave behind. Delaying this task could be the worst decision you could make; if you do not make your own estate plan you have essentially left it to the government to do it for you.
Understanding your estate planning choices and helping you make the right decision in your specific situation is what an estate planning attorney does. We discuss:
- Wills
- Trusts
- Planning for children with special needs
- Charitable planning
- Single Parents, Unmarried Couples, Second or Subsequent Marriages
- Planning for beloved pets
- Planning for long-term care
- Powers of Attorney and Advance Directives
- Probate Avoidance Devices
- Conservatorship or Guardianship
- Estate Taxes
Review of Estate Plans
Even if you set up an estate plan years ago it’s probably time to dust it off. Changes in your family, your personal life, the ever-changing tax law, or in the markets that can double the value of your assets each decade, could all mean it’s time to review the Will or Trust you created years ago.
