The Probate Process: Tips, Tools & Resources
Your Children Wish You Had an Estate Plan
Without a proper elder law estate plan, the children’s responsibilities are even more exhausting, stressful and sad.
What’s the Difference Between an Inter Vivos Trust and a Testamentary Trust?
Estate planning offers tools to establish and maintain effective control over cash, investments and real estate assets during a person’s lifetime and upon death. While wills and beneficiary designations work well to ensure that an estate plan meets the unique needs of the individual establishing the plan, each has its limits.
Avoiding Probate with a Trust
In other words, family members who are not named to inherit anything in the will may still see the list of all of the assets. If you don’t want that result, you can avoid it by establishing a trust.
Share Your Estate Plan Now to Protect Your Family When You Are Gone
Estate planning clients, typically those nearing or beyond retirement, often ask what kind of information they should share during their life with the beneficiaries of their estate.
When Do I Need an Elder Law Attorney?
Elder law issues can be complex. One wrong word or move can mean the difference between a good result and disaster should you become incapacitated or if other unexpected issues should occur in your senior years. An elder law attorney can help you plan for what will happen, if you should become mentally or physically incapable of taking care of yourself and your own personal business matters.
Do You Want to Decide or Do You Want the State to Decide?
Estate planning attorneys will agree, it’s better to die with a properly drafted will than to die without one. If you don’t have one, consider getting one.
Disinheriting Loved Ones is A Common Mistake
Do you want to disinherit your loved ones? Then simply name the wrong person on your beneficiary forms. That sounds too simple, yes, but everyday individuals die leaving their financial assets to the wrong person.
Steps to Take as a Parent’s Condition Takes a Turn
My father only designated my mom as an agent on power of attorney forms, and they have not been updated in many years. Where do you think we should go from here?
Special Needs Family Requires Special Planning
As our children with disabilities grow older, and we ourselves grow older, the future can seem daunting. The future can be overwhelming.
How to Choose an Estate Planning Attorney
Taking care of these key tasks properly limits the potential for family turmoil and possible legal battles should you become incapacitated, as well as after your death.
