Wills and Estate Planning

It is estimated that 70% of Americans are without a will. Although it can be a difficult package to wrap, having a will is one of the best gifts you can leave your loved ones. Wills are often thought to be only for the wealthy, but no matter how much or how little you have, a will ensures your desires are respected. A will not only designates the desired beneficiaries of your assets and belongings but is also vital if you have minor children. A will designates who becomes the legal guardian to your minor children before they are of legal age. Additionally, if you are a business owner, a will can help aid in a smooth legal transition of your business assets.

 

Without a will, the court system makes these decisions on your behalf through a process called probate. This process is lengthy and often stressful. It can be difficult to think of leaving your family behind, but when you do without a will, you inadvertently subject your family and loved ones to unnecessary confusion and anxiety during what is already a difficult time.

 

Our practice offers several packages for both wills and trusts. We can guide you through each step and decide what package is right for you—one that ensures your wishes are carried out and protected after your passing.
