Estates & Wills
A Clear Vision for the Future
Whether you are just starting a family, or if you have a large extended family of children and grandchildren, going through the process of estate planning and creating a strong document describing how you want your estate distributed will protect your assets and your family.
Protection for Tomorrow
"Do I need a will?"
There are very few situations where the answer to this question isn't a definite yes, and almost none where it's a definite no. Here are a few of the questions we ask:
- Do you have a spouse?
- Do you have children?
- Do you own a home?
- Do you have a retirement account?
- Do you have a savings account?
- Do you have life insurance?
If you answer yes to any of those questions, then you and your family are far better off with a will than without one. Without a clear legal document instructing how your estate is to be divided, the state will make decisions for you, and they may make decisions you would never want.
A Responsible Decision
Some people feel like only rich people with expensive cars or houses and large bank accounts need to do estate planning. This couldn't be further from the truth.
Protecting your family from fighting with the state or with each other over who should inherit what isn't just the responsible thing to do. It's also considerate and thoughtful because it may save your heirs from potentially bitter conflict and expensive probate litigation.
