frequently asked questions

01

How does an estate plan differ from a will?

While both an estate plan and a will play crucial roles in managing your assets after your death, they are not synonymous. A will is part of an estate plan, but an estate plan is more comprehensive. It encompasses instructions for your care if you become disabled, provisions for loved ones who might be irresponsible with money or who may need future protection from creditors or divorce, and more.

04

Is estate planning tax-deductible?

Is estate planning tax-deductible? This is a common question that underscores the financial implications of planning for your future. Generally, the cost of estate planning isn’t tax-deductible, but it can potentially save you and your heirs substantial amounts in future taxes. Get in touch with our tax-savvy estate planning attorneys to learn more about tax-efficient strategies for preserving your wealth.

02

Why is estate planning Important?

Why is estate planning important? It’s not just about wealth. Estate planning provides a way to protect your assets, care for your loved ones, manage your health care decisions, and so much more. It gives you control over what happens to your assets after your death, and it can offer peace of mind to you and your family. Discover the importance of estate planning with our dedicated attorneys and secure your future today.

05

What is the right estate planning option for me?

The right estate planning option depends on your needs. A will directs asset distribution, a trust offers control and avoids probate, and power of attorney handles finances if you're incapacitated. Healthcare directives ensure medical wishes are followed, and beneficiary designations allow direct asset transfer. Contact us to choose the best option.

03

What happens if I need to update my estate plan?

If you need to update your estate plan, you can revise your will, amend your trust, update beneficiary designations, or create new legal documents. It's best to review your plan regularly, especially after major life changes like marriage, divorce, or having children. An estate planning attorney can help ensure updates align with your wishes and remain legally valid.

06

Who needs estate planning?

Who needs estate planning? The simple answer is – everyone. Irrespective of your marital status, age, or wealth, estate planning is crucial. It provides a legal roadmap for the disposition of your assets after your death and helps ensure your loved ones are taken care of. Don’t delay – contact our estate planning professionals today to start preparing for tomorrow.
