Frequently asked questions
Learn more about estate planning.
What is estate planning, and why do I need it?
Estate planning is the process of preparing legal documents like wills, trusts, and directives to ensure your wishes are followed. It protects your family from legal complications and helps preserve your assets for future generations.
What’s the difference between a will and a trust?
A will takes effect after you pass away and often requires probate, while a trust can manage assets during your lifetime and may avoid probate. Both tools can be customized to suit your goals.
How does estate planning minimize taxes?
Strategic tools like trusts and charitable donations can reduce estate taxes. Our team helps you explore options to preserve more of your wealth for your loved ones.
What happens if I don’t have an estate plan?
Without a plan, state laws determine how your assets are distributed, which might not align with your wishes. Estate planning ensures your voice is heard, even after you’re gone.
Can I update my estate plan?
Yes! Life changes like marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child often require updates. We’ll help keep your plan current and aligned with your evolving needs.
How long does the estate planning process take?
It depends on the complexity of your needs, but we strive to make the process as efficient as possible, often completing plans in just a few weeks.
