Do I need an estate plan?
Many people believe that estate planning is only important if you have significant assets or a large estate. The truth is that anyone who has a financial interest in their loved ones or who cares about their own future care should be thinking about estate planning. Creating an estate plan allows you to:
- Prepare and plan for an unexpected illness or death
- Designate beneficiaries and specify how you want assets distributed
- Create a trust for a special needs child or for a specific purpose
- Indicate specific medical treatments in event of incapacitation
- Create a charitable trust with your investments and assets
- Protect your children after a second marriage
- Pursue asset protection with tax planning strategies
- Create a tailored, unique plan to help avoid probate
Every family should have an individualized estate plan. If you do not create a will or estate plan, you are essentially allowing the state to make those important decisions for you. It is much safer to take the time to create a legal document that supports your rights and interests. Our attorney will take the time to learn about your individual needs and develop an estate plan that addresses your personal and financial objectives.
