Key Points in Wills & Estate Planning
- Wills: A will is a legal document that outlines how your assets and estate will be distributed after your passing. It allows you to name beneficiaries, designate an executor, and specify your final wishes regarding property, finances, and guardianship for minor children.
- Power of Attorney: A power of attorney allows you to appoint someone you trust to make financial and legal decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. This ensures your affairs are managed according to your wishes.
- Representation Agreements: Representation agreements designate individuals to make healthcare and personal care decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so. This can include decisions about medical treatments, living arrangements, and end-of-life care.
- Trusts: Trusts are legal arrangements that can help you manage and protect your assets. They can be used to provide for minor children, individuals with disabilities, or to achieve specific financial goals, such as minimizing estate taxes.
- Estate Administration: After a loved one’s passing, our firm can assist with the legal process of estate administration. This includes applying for probate, distributing assets, paying debts and taxes, and ensuring the deceased’s final wishes are carried out.
- Tax Planning: Estate planning can help minimize tax liabilities for your beneficiaries. Our lawyers can provide strategies to optimize your estate for tax efficiency, potentially saving your loved ones significant sums.
- Business Succession: If you own a business, planning for its succession is crucial. Our firm can assist in developing strategies to ensure a smooth transition of ownership and management.
- Estate Litigation: Disputes can arise over wills and estates, particularly in cases of contested wills or allegations of undue influence. Our experienced litigators can represent clients in estate litigation to protect their interests.
- Advance Care Planning: Discussing end-of-life care and preferences is an essential aspect of estate planning. We can help you document your wishes to ensure they are respected.
