Estate Planning

You may have been putting off creating an estate plan for yourself or a loved one until now, or perhaps it is time to update your estate plan due to a change in circumstances.

The Estate Planning Process – Explained

Estate plans are by no means just for the wealthy, nor is it ever too early to start the estate planning process–there’s no better time to start than today! The process begins by answering a few simple questions. First, you will need to take an inventory of all your real and financial assets–everything from real estate investments, to automobiles, to money you’ve stored under your bed for a rainy day. The next step is deciding who you may want to receive your assets in the event of your death.

Finally you will need to determine the manner in which the assets will be distributed, and take the proper measures to ensure that the assets are protected. While the first two questions are straightforward enough, hiring an estate planning attorney with specific expertise is extremely important to protect and distribute your assets. This can involve creating trusts, wills, preparing for probate, power of attorney, and a wide spectrum of legal devices to make the estate plan both as comprehensive and efficient as possible.

Keeping An Estate Plan Up-To-Date

Since your assets and relationships will certainly change over time, it is important to have your estate plan up-to-date to ensure it is still relevant. Failure to employ a well-crafted, current estate plan can result in:

• Lengthy and Costly Probate Cases.
• Large estate taxes.
• Wills being contested.
• Assets not being distributed as intended.
