Frequently Asked Questions

Estate Planning

Estate planning should be more than just the simple drafting of documents. It can be the creation of a legacy, both personal and financial, that you leave for your family and loved ones. Estate planning is the process of creating a plan for your assets, property, children, spouse, and other loved ones through the use of trusts, wills, and/or other legal documents, in the event of your disability or death.

Plan Ahead

Many do not do any estate planning or are only interested only in “simple wills” or online forms due to concerns about cost. However, improper planning comes with many hidden costs, including:

  • Having your assets go to people other than those you intended.

  • The failure of your assets to provide the maximum benefit to your beneficiaries.

  • Extra administrative or probate expenses and legal fees.

  • Delays in distributing your assets throughout the probate process.

  • More taxes-both estate and income taxes must be considered.

  • Damaging relationships between beneficiaries.

  • Failing to protect beneficiaries financially, from themselves or others.
