PROBATE
In order to protect our families in the event of our demise, all of us should insure that our financial affairs are in order. While many assets can be arranged to avoid Probate, it may not completely meet your needs. A Will, in conjunction with other alternatives may be necessary.
If you have small children, you may need to take other measures to protect them in the event of your untimely demise. Whether you want to request a guardian for them or prevent them from getting all of their inheritance at age 18 years of age, a Trust may be the best alternative. A Trust may also be used to avoid inheritance tax, provide for support or tuition, or to avoid the worry of your estate being liquidated to pay for long term medical expenses.
A Power of Attorney is a document that will allow another person or entity to sign documents and/or contracts, on your behalf. A Power of Attorney can avoid the necessity of a guardianship in the event that you or a family member becomes incapacitated or incompetent.
I offer probate consultations to discuss your situation and the best alternatives for your particular needs.
