Estate Planning
Everyone has an estate, no matter how large or small, that includes everything you own-cars, real estate, bank accounts, investments, life insurance, right down to furniture and jewelry. Estate planning is the organization of all your assets into a plan that will direct who gets what and when after you pass away. Effective estate planning can help you avoid unnecessary legal fees, taxes, and court costs. It will also eliminate the painful burden of making loved ones make these decisions after they lose a family member. Not only is estate planning essential for protecting your assets after you pass, it is also crucial to protect you in the event of any life altering accidents or incidents as well.
The depth of the relationship between an attorney and his/her client is a substantial factor when it comes to effective estate planning. Without implicit trust and total disclosure, an estate plan can fail in providing protection and security to survivors. In the absence of proper planning, tax liabilities may increase, additional administrative fees may be encountered, and beneficiaries may be left in limbo longer than necessary.
