COMMON ESTATE PLANNING QUESTIONS
What Is Estate Planning?
Estate planning is the process of creating a comprehensive plan to manage and distribute a person’s assets and wealth upon their death or incapacitation. It involves making important decisions about how your property and belongings will be handled, both during your lifetime and after your passing.
The key aspects of estate planning include:- Wills and Trusts
- Beneficiary Designations
- Power of Attorney
- Healthcare Proxy or Medical Power of Attorney
- Living Will or Advance Healthcare Directive
- Guardianship Designations
- Asset Protection
- Minimization of Estate Taxes
- Business Succession Planning
- Funeral and Burial Instructions
Do I Need a Will?
A Last Will and Testament is one of the foundational estate planning documents. It serves as a legal tool to outline your wishes for asset distribution, guardianship of minor children, and more. Without a will, the state may dictate how your estate is distributed, which may not align with your intentions.
With an experienced estate attorney, you can create a valid and legally enforceable will. We’ll help you identify your beneficiaries, designate an executor, and address any specific bequests or conditions. Additionally, we provide ongoing support for updating your will to reflect changes in your life circumstances or preferences.
What Is A Trust?
Trusts are versatile tools that can be used for various estate planning goals. Our trust and estate counsel experts offer guidance on revocable living trusts, irrevocable trusts, testamentary trusts, and more. Each type has unique features and advantages that can be tailored to your specific needs, whether for asset protection, privacy, or efficient wealth transfer.
Trusts offer several benefits, including avoiding probate, protecting assets from creditors, and providing for minor children or beneficiaries with special needs. When working with the right estate planning attorney, you can determine the most suitable trust options to achieve your goals while maximizing the benefits for your estate.
