Experienced and Affordable Estate Planning Attorneys
You’ve worked a lifetime accumulating assets and property, it is critical to preserve and protect those assets. Estate planning and asset protection can give you peace of mind in the event of a debilitating illness, or attack from creditors. An estate planning attorney can ensure a smooth transfer of your estate to the special loved ones in your life, in accordance with your exact specifications.
Why Most Clients Need a Trust
Estate planning involves more than just writing a Last Will and Testament. In most cases, it is most advantageous to establish a “Living Trust” or “Revocable Trust” for the purpose of holding assets and property. Such a trust serves a number of important purposes including the avoidance of probate, and a measure of asset protection. In some cases requiring additional asset protection, an “Irrevocable Trust” is recommended.
Estate Planning Decisions to Consider
There are many issues to consider in creating an estate plan. Some things to consider include the following:
- What is the approximate value of my assets?
- Who do I want to eventually receive, or benefit from, those assets?
- Who should manage my assets during my lifetime if I am unable to do so?
- Who should take care of my children if I become unable to care for them?
- Who should make financial decisions on my behalf if I am unable to do so?
- Who should make medical decisions on my behalf if I am unable to do so?
