Estate Planning FAQs
Estate Planning FAQs
Why should you consult with an Estate Planning Attorney?
Two common excuses for avoiding estate planning are "I am not wealthy" and "I am too young." Estate Planning is equally as important for people with substantial wealth as well as those with modest assets. Most persons, including young people, will benefit with a consultation because incapacitation/death could happen at any time.
I already have a Will. When do I need to review and possibly update my estate plan?
You should consult with a licensed attorney upon any major life changes such as marriage/divorce, remarriage, birth or adoption of children, and/or a significant change in assets.
What are some advantages to having a Revocable Trust vs. a Will?
- The terms of a Trust are contained in a private document, while the terms of a Will become a matter of public record
- Avoidance of Probate for Trust Assets
- Avoidance of out-of-state probate proceedings
