Estate planning is the process of arranging and documenting how your assets are managed during life and distributed after death. It typically includes documents like a will, a trust, a durable power of attorney, and a healthcare directive.
A will can direct asset distribution; a trust can provide more control and privacy. Choosing between them depends on your goals, assets, and family situation.
Probate validates the will and transfers assets; it can take time and incur costs. A plan with trusts or other tools can minimize probate exposure.
Guardians should be chosen based on trust, values, and your family needs. Discuss with guardians and include them in planning.
Major life events require updates; review your plan after important changes. Be sure to revise after marriage, birth, relocation, or inheritance.
Copies of existing wills, trust documents, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives. Also bring IDs and any documentation about beneficiaries.
Yes, you can update your documents as goals change. Your plan can be amended over time to reflect new circumstances.
Costs vary based on complexity and documents needed. We provide clear pricing and options during the initial consultation.
