Probate, Trust, & Estate Planning
Planning for distribution of your property after death is a task that many avoid because of the unpleasantness of contemplating the end of their life. A well thought out plan is a gift to those who survive. It avoids conflict among family members and provides a clear direction to a probate court, trustee or personal representative.
The Probate Court handles the distribution of the assets that comprise the estate of the deceased individual. These matters can range from small and uncomplicated estates that permit unsupervised administration to complex matters requiring supervised administration of the Probate Court.
Avoiding probate can be something that is desirable but whether joint ownership of assets, use of a trust or execution of a will is best for you can only be determined by consulting with a knowledgeable attorney. Our attorneys can provide you with the options available and what would be in your best interests as well as those you desire to inherit from you. We can explain to you the advantages and disadvantages of the various options in estate planning.
As a part of any estate plan, we urge our clients to consider execution of a power of attorney to avoid the need for a guardian and conservator if the time ever comes where a client is unable to either care for themselves or conduct their own business. We also encourage our clients to create a medical durable power of attorney so that a trusted person could make medical decisions for the client in the event they were unable to do so.
Estate planning is not just for older citizens. Irrespective of your age, you need to assure that your assets will be distributed to those persons you wish to benefit. If you have young children you need to consider how they will be provided for in the event of your death. A trust for the benefit of children can be an effective tool to care for children without giving them unfettered access to assets where they might be quickly dissipated.
