Estate Planning

Services Overview

What Does An Estate Plan Consist of?

The Estate Plan:

  • Living Trust
  • Pour Over Will
  • Durable Power of Attorney
  • Advance Health Care Directives (Also known as living will)
  • HIPAA Authorization
  • Final Disposition of Remains Instructions
  • Real Estate Transfer Deeds
  • Assignment of Personal Property
  • Provision for Handwritten Gift

A Living Trust - What Is it Exactly?

A living trust is a legal document that contains your instructions for what you want to happen to your assets when you die. A living trust avoids expensive probate at death, controls all of your assets and can prevent the court from controlling your assets if you become incapacitated.

Benefits of Having a Trust
A trust helps you avoid probate (including multiple probates if you own property in other states), save in taxes, provides maximum privacy, is relatively inexpensive, is easy to set up and maintain, and provides quicker distribution of assets to your loved ones.

Burdens of Not Having a Trust
Not having a trust will expose your loved ones to the very expensive probate process which can take up to 18 months or longer; your assets will not be kept confidential, attorney fees will be paid from your estate along with court costs, and sadly assets are distributed according to state law, not your wishes. Sometimes relatives you do not know (or care for) can end up with a large part of your estate.

How Long Is The Estate Plan Process?

Typically, it only takes a few weeks to prepare the legal documents after you provide all the necessary information to begin drafting your estate plan. We can streamline the process to make it as fast or as slow as you would like. The quickest we have been able to provide an estate plan was in two days!
