Why Do I Need a Will?
Your estate consists of everything you own — from bank accounts and stocks and bonds to your house, retirement funds and life insurance. Whether your estate is modest or large, it is important to make sure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes after your death. Careful estate planning — creating a will, setting up a trust and establishing powers of attorney — will make sure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes.
Creating an Effective Estate Plan
A well-crafted estate plan can help protect your possessions and provide for your family once you are gone. An effective estate plan not only allows you to control your assets, but also helps you minimize your tax liability. While spending $100 or less on a software package may allow you to create a will, it will not address rapidly changing estate laws or account for every contingency you may need.
Our estate planning lawyers will work with you to create a unique plan tailored especially to you and the needs of your family, by using planning tools such as:
- Wills
- Living wills
- Durable powers of attorney
- Health care powers of attorney
- Other estate planning documents
We will make sure that you name a guardian for your children, lay out how your assets will be distributed, set up trusts for minor or disabled children, and designate who will make health and financial decisions for you if you become incapacitated.
