Estate Planning
Looking for an Estate Planning Attorney? Dena Thompson-Estes can help you map out your post-life game plan.
It’s never too late to take care of your family’s future. We plan for life so why not plan for death. Whether one’s time comes at the end of a very long and happy life or in an unexpected tragedy, you will want to have your wishes carried out through an estate plan.
Time is of the essence when planning to protect yourself, your spouse, children, and other family members. These legal documents will help you and your family make important decisions on your life if you become incompetent, incapacitated, or pass away.
Having an estate plan will help streamline the distribution of your assets, reduce estate taxes, and minimize costs, to name a few. Without a plan, your family may end up in a battle with the court during the probate process which can be lengthy, costly, and stressful.
Estate planning involves the preparation of various estate planning documents, including but not limited to:
- Last Will and Testament
- Trust
- Durable Power of Attorney
- Healthcare Surrogate
- Living Will
