Do I Need An Estate Planning Lawyer?

The answer depends on several factors. 

• Do you have a will? 
• Does it make sense to transfer your property into a trust?
• Who has the Power of Attorney to manage your affairs if you are incapacitated?
• Who will make healthcare decisions for you if you can’t make them yourself?
• Have you named the right beneficiaries on your retirement plan(s) and investments?

If you answered any of these questions with “no” or “I don’t know”, then it makes sense for you to contact an attorney and talk over your options.

Probate is not your friend.

Probate takes time and money, and delays the disposition of your assets for months, or maybe even years. The formal probate process subjects your estate to creditors, too. 

If you set up your estate plan right, you can avoid much of the hassle that your family might otherwise go through in probate court. Many, perhaps all, of your assets can transfer directly into the hands of those you choose.

Is there a way to reduce taxes for my heirs?

There are many ways to accomplish this goal with forethought and planning. Your estate planning lawyer can help you identify them and put them into practice.
