1Why Do You Need An Estate Planning Attorney?
2 What is Probate? Probate is the legal
process of transferring property following a
persons death. Although probate customs and laws
have changed over time, the purpose has remained
much the same an individual formalizes their
intentions as to the transfer of their property
at the time of their death (typically through a
Will), their property is collected, certain debts
are paid from the estate and the property is
distributed accordingly.
3- There is no legal requirement that anyone has a
Will, but it gives you an opportunity to make
your wishes are known, such as the distribution
of assets, who is to serve as guardian of your
children, where they are to be educated, etc. A
Will also gives you the opportunity to exercise
your generosity toward the various religious,
charitable, and educational institutions that
have earned your respect and admiration over the
years. - Without a Will or a Trust, it will be the
government, and not you, who will decide how your
property and possessions are distributed. Good
estate planning is more than just a simple Will.
4 Estate Planning Estate
planning minimizes potential taxes and fees, such
as the transferring of assets at the lowest
possible Federal and State gift and estate tax,
and sets up contingency planning to make sure
wishes regarding health care treatment are
followed before and after death. A good estate
plan also coordinates what happens to a home,
investments, business, life insurance, employee
benefits, and other property in the event of
disablement or death.
