Cary Estate Planning Lawyer Helping Clients Prepare For the Future
Estate planning entails more than merely drafting a will, and it’s something that everyone should consider. If you have loved ones who rely on you, it’s probably time to start planning your estate. To do it right, you will want to consult with a Cary Estate Planning Attorney at NC Planning.
The right estate planning attorney can help you make sure that your instructions are carried out when that time comes. Estate planning should be a priority for business owners, families, and for anyone who plans to provide for loved ones.
Proper estate planning requires the right estate planning attorney and the creation of several precise and detailed legal documents. Good estate planning also creates advance directives – medical and financial powers-of-attorney – to deal with unexpected circumstances as they arise.
What Can Happen Without an Estate Plan?
If you don’t have an estate plan, you won’t get to decide what happens to your assets after your death. Instead, the court will get to make these decisions for you. The right attorney will make sure that does not happen. A good estate planning lawyer will explain your options and answer your estate planning questions.
The best estate plans take time and thoughtful consideration. Circumstances change over time, so it’s also important to review your estate plan regularly. An attorney at NC Planning can guide you through the process of creating an estate plan that fits your needs.
Should You Choose A Will Or A Living Trust?
The last will and testament transfer your estate to your beneficiaries after your death. If you are the parent of a minor child, your will should also name the person who becomes their guardian in the event of your death.
If you choose a last will and testament rather than a living trust, have an attorney at NC Planning help you create that document. Many people who write their own will forget to include vital details or valuable assets such as vehicles, works of art, collectibles, and jewelry.
A living trust does more than a last will and testament. A well-drafted living trust can ensure that if you become incapacitated, your properties and assets will be managed according to your wishes.
What Advantages Does A Cary Estate Planning Attorney Offer?
Like a last will and testament, a living trust also transfers assets to your beneficiaries upon your death. The difference is that if you have prepared a living trust, your estate can avoid probate. This means your loved ones won’t have to deal with the time-consuming and stressful probate process after your death. A living trust won’t have to clear the courts, which means your assets will be distributed to your beneficiaries quickly after your death.
What’s best for you? If you’re not sure, an estate planning lawyer at NC Planning can help you decide. NC Planning offers trusted estate planning services to families and business owners throughout North Carolina.
