What Is Estate Planning?

Estate planning is the legal process of arranging for the management and transfer of your assets after death or in the event of incapacity. A well-crafted estate plan ensures:

• Your assets go where you want them to go
• Your loved ones are taken care of without unnecessary stress or delay
• You remain in control of key decisions—even if you’re unable to speak for yourself
• Disputes and confusion are minimized or avoided altogether

    Very helpful in offering Estate/Will advice within the confines of my limited knowledge of the Probate process and my budget, while insuring the eventual documents are drafted within the confines of the law. If you understand the need for a primary care doctor, then you’ll understand the importance of a local, experienced ‘primary care’ law firm.
