Trusts & Estates
A Lifetime Decision
Unlike other areas of law, everyone will be impacted by wills, trusts, and estate law at one time or another. Many people assume writing down where their assets go after death, adding beneficiaries to policies, or adding names on bank accounts is enough. Unfortunately, it is not always that easy.
Estate planning is about being prepared. Not having a clearly defined estate plan adds unnecessary uncertainty, expense, and frustration for those you love in an already sad and difficult time.
To decide whether you need an estate plan, you should first know the answer to this question: What will happen to you, your loved ones, and your assets if something happens to you? Sadly, many people don’t know what will happen until it’s too late, leaving their family to pick up the pieces, forcing them to make stressful decisions about health care or assets, and causing additional anguish.
