Why Do You Need To Think About Estate Planning?

There are many reasons why you want to establish an effective estate plan. A few of these reasons include:

  • An effective estate plan will help ensure the orderly distribution of your estate under your wishes.
  • An effective estate plan will also help you shorten or avoid the probate process. The probate process can be expensive and time-consuming and can add significant responsibility for your heirs. We can use legal tactics to shorten or avoid probate. We can also help you identify whether you want to take the steps necessary to avoid probate.
  • A well-designed estate plan can reduce the tax burden on your estate. Our lawyers understand the estate tax laws and can help you use planning techniques that minimize tax liability.

We can also help you plan for nursing home or long-term medical care, including the use of Medicaid and Medicare. We can help you protect your assets from seizure by the state, ensuring that your estate goes to your family rather than the state.
