What you Need to Know About Estate Planning
The subject tends to be the most difficult part of estate planning. People want to avoid the question - What will happen when I die? But those who attack the difficult question find a sense of relief knowing there is a plan when they are gone. That's why choosing the right attorney is a must! The Phoenix Estate Planning Lawyers at Platt & Westby, P.C., combine their nearly 40 years of experience to work with individuals to formulate a plan to fit their individual needs.
Estate planning is the way to ensure you and your families' financial goals are met after you pass away. No matter your net worth it is important to have a basic plan in place. What is termed "Estate Planning" has several parts. They include: a will, a trust (if your assets require one), assignment of a power of attorney, and a living will or medical power of attorney.
The golden rule is everybody needs a will. Dying without a will, or "intestate" leaves you no control or say over the distribution of your assets and could be very costly to your heirs. A will is your greatest strength after your death putting the world on notice as to what your individual wishes are. A will is also where you want to name guardians for your children. In addition, depending on your personalized estate plan, a trust may be a good mechanism to protect your assets from creditors and lawsuits while placing conditions on the distribution of your assets. It is also important to discuss your estate plans with your heirs so there is no confusion upon your death. A good estate plan protects you, your assets and your beneficiaries. Let our experienced and skilled Attorneys analyze your personal needs and formulate a plan for you.
