Estate Planning Attorney

There was a time when the concept of estate planning included little more than creating a will and using a joint title to own property with a spouse. Actual planning of an estate applied only to the wealthy. Today, it is necessary for everyone to plan for their estate. Not only is it necessary to protect assets, but individuals must also take into account their complicated family situations.

Estate planning can include:

  • Wills.
  • Living trusts
  • Health care directives
  • Power of attorney regarding health and finances
  • Beneficiary forms
  • Care of minor children

Business succession plans spell out what will happen to your business (e.g., who will inherit). Or you may instead have a buy/sell agreement in place with a worthy competitor to make sure your heirs get a fair price.

As things in an estate change, the plan must change. It is also important a person consider not only what will occur in an estate after death, but also should he or she become mentally incapacitated.
