These days, the biggest challenge for parents is getting their affairs in order.
Most parents would like to board a plane for a vacation and know that if something happened to them, everything is taken care of. Yet many people haven’t done an estate plan for their families; the result can be thousands of dollars in avoidable court fees, and even more in family disputes.
Peace of mind is knowing that our hard-earned wealth will be distributed fairly.
Research has shown that the top reason for creating an estate plan is that parents want to make sure that their hard-earned savings are distributed fairly and smoothly. They want to minimize any difficulties their families may have in inheriting. They want to make sure that their intent is clear.
Successful estate planning starts with a vision of how we want it all to end.
Because we often think of estate planning as having to talk about our own death, and because we feel it is too expensive, we may not complete the most loving thing we can do for our family. We don’t want our kids to fight over our money or for it to go to someone we didn’t intend it for, but the prospect of calling an attorney and getting started seems overwhelming. I can make this process easy, affordable and give you the feeling of ease and comfort of knowing that all your affairs are in order.
The best investment you can make is in your family’s future.
Through a will or a trust, you can insure that your affairs will be in order and leave no doubt as to your wishes. Your estate will be transferred smoothly to the next generation, saving you over and above the cost of not doing anything.
I have helped hundreds of parents, individuals and families put together estate plans that fit their unique situation and give them peace of mind.
In addition to wills and living trusts, I provide support documents such as healthcare directives and powers of attorney to ensure that any catastrophic event is covered.
