Estate Planning, Wills & Trusts
Estate planning describes the process which includes management of the family assets, preservation of wealth, protection from creditors, and minimization of taxes. If you have a well-drafted estate plan in place, you'll ensure that your estate passes to whom you want, when you want, and is carried out in the manner you've chosen.
Wills & Trusts
All of the property that is inside the trust avoids probate. A trust can provide significant estate tax savings and, in some cases, totally eliminate estate taxes. Trusts allow for professional management of your investments during your lifetime.
Living Will
Healthcare Directives are included in an Estate Plan. These documents allow you to direct a physician to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining procedures in future circumstances. In fact, many medical facilities inquire about them during the admissions process.
Probate
When a person dies without a Revocable Living Trust, a probate of the estate needs to be opened. A will also needs to be probated. The transfer of the deceased person's property (after debts against the estate are paid) is administered by a probate court.
