Personalized Estate Planning Tailored to Your Needs
Everyone has different needs, so your estate plan should be tailored to address them. Our legal team seeks to understand the goals of every client we serve and will ensure you understand your options and how they can potentially impact you and the lives of your loved ones.
Below is a list of some of the important items an estate plan should generally include:
- Will or Trust
- Advanced Health Care Directive
- Durable Power of Attorney
- Guardianship designations
Wills and Trusts share a lot of similarities, but they are not identical. Both documents allow you to bequeath assets to loved ones, but a Trust allows beneficiaries to forego the probate process when transferring these assets. The biggest difference, however, is that a will becomes effective after your passing and a Trust is effective immediately. For example, if you become incapacitated, the Trustee you assign can step in and take control of your affairs as outlined in your Trust.
Planning for the future is important at any age and can ensure your loved ones are protected and spared any added stress if you become incapacitated or pass away.
