Estate planning is a critical part of my philosophy
that it's best to take action to prevent legal troubles. You may need to establish a
revocable living trust, living will and powers of attorney to prevent unforeseen legal
problems.
Whether you have a large or small estate, proper planning will enable you, among other things, to:
Pass your property to the people you choose with a minimum of legal hassles
Help your heirs avoid the high costs and time delays of probate
Appoint guardians for minor children
Set up a trust for children or elderly parents
Ensure that your health care wishes are honored
Avoid a court-appointed conservator if you become incapacitated
Minimize taxes on your estate
Make the grieving process easier for your loved ones |
