If any of these scenarios sound like you and you are curious about what an estate plan should look like for you, please contact us today for a free consultation.
An estate plan is not a static document that should live in a dusty old binder, never to be looked at again until your final years.
An estate plan is a living document that outlines your wishes and plans for the “what ifs” at every stage of your life.
In fact, your estate plan should change, especially if you have been recently married or divorced, had more children, or have had other life changing events that require your original plan to be modified.
If you have had some changes in your life that you feel may require you to make changes to your current estate plan, please call today to schedule a complimentary consultation. We’ll walk through the changes you make and let you decide what path to take.
If you have children, you need an estate plan. This is without question, something you need to do. There are issues specific to children that you will need to address in your plan, namely, who will you appoint as guardian if you and your spouse are unable to care for your children?
If you are a single parent, or the custodial parent, and have concerns regarding your child’s care if you were unable to care for them, you should talk to an attorney right away to get insights on what you should do next.
Business succession planning is an important part of estate planning for business owners. It involves creating a plan that passes the management and/or ownership of your business to someone else after you retire, become disabled, or die. In simple terms, succession planning is the process of passing control of the business to others.
If you die without a Will then the intestacy laws of the state where you lived and owned real estate at the time of your death will determine who will inherit your property.
