Every Adult Should Have a Will
Typically, people may leave property to any person they wish and they make such designations in their Will. A Will is simply a formal way of setting forth your wishes regarding how you would like your property distributed upon your death. You should consider a Will whether you are single, married, have minor children or own even a small amount of personal assets or property. In fact, every adult should have a Will or other means to control the disposition of their assets. If you have not formalized your intentions, your estate may meet with the unnecessary and costly litigation, adding to the grief experience by your survivors. Avoid the financial and emotional turmoil of Will contest and other legal wrangling by choosing an experienced Wills and Estate lawyer at Hanlon & Zubkus.
Benefits of Hiring a Wills & Estate Lawyer
Hiring an experienced estate planning attorney is essential if you want to make a comprehensive plan for your assets and the rest of your estate. Having the assistance of a professional helps you identify any weak points in your estate plan and take steps to account for any eventualities. Our Wills and Estate lawyer will help give you the assurance you need that everything is covered. Here are just a few of the ways that working with our office can help you:
- Avoiding Mistakes: Elder and estate law is frequently changing. This means your Will and estate plan might need to be revised several times over the years. Working with an experienced estate planning attorney can help you stay current with the laws and that your estate plan is valid when you need it to work for you.
- Providing for Dependents: If you have minor children, pets, or other dependents, it's important to provide them with financial security in the event of your demise. Our Wills and Estate lawyer will ensure that your wishes are carried out.
- Accounting for Taxes: Your estate and assets could be heavily taxed upon your passing if you don't make the appropriate provisions. A Wills and Estate lawyer can help you strategically plan for your estate to keep taxes to a minimum.
- Avoiding Probate: If you don't want your family and loved ones to have to deal with the lengthy and complex court process of probate, you can transfer your assets using trusts. Establishing a trust is a more complicated procedure than other estate planning provisions, so you will need experienced guidance to make sure you do it correctly.
- Preventing Confusion & Reducing Conflict: If you die without a comprehensive estate plan, it might not be clear who your beneficiaries should be. This can cause difficulty, confusion, and conflict between your remaining family. Our office can help you properly.
