Wills/Trusts/Estate Planning

Protecting the Future of Your Estate

Many people do not make estate planning a priority. Maybe you believe that you do not have assets worth protecting, you believe you are too young for any planning, or you are not comfortable discussing these personal topics. The attorneys at our firm belief that you are never too young to start planning and we understand that these topics can be sensitive and emotional. Wherever you are in life, our knowledgeable team is passionate about ensuring that you, your family, your business, and your assets are protected and planned for.

The word “estate” might sound intimidating to some. However, it is a simple umbrella term used to describe the items you own when you pass away, including money, property, life insurance, business, assets, and personal effects.

Estate Planning does not only affect your estate, but also those you care for. If you have young children or adults who are under your care, an estate plan can be vital to ensure your dependents are cared for as you desire and that your estate goes in your dependents’ best interest. Also, estate planning does not only address when you pass away but can also be used in situations where you have a medical emergency or are incapacitated.

When planning for your estate, there are various documents that the Hoffman Law Firm uses to ensure everything is planned properly. Some of these documents include:

• Last will and testament
• Trust
• Living will
• Healthcare power of attorney
• Durable power of attorney

Having a strong estate plan in place can be one of the best gifts you leave for your family and loved ones as it will make the handling of your affairs after you pass away much simpler and more streamlined for your loved ones. Your loved ones will know your wishes and can ensure they are followed. Also, with a good estate plan you can generally avoid disputes over your estate, which can often become lengthy, stressful, and expensive for your loved ones.
