Ensuring Your Legacy Through Estate Planning
Most people find it difficult to contemplate their mortality, let alone actively plan for what happens after they’re gone. However, estate planning can be a positive and empowering experience that grants you peace of mind. Knowing that your money, property and end-of-life medical wishes are legally documented allows you to live your life freely, assured that your loved ones and legacy will be protected according to your choices.
As a Smithville estate planning attorney and founder of Jeremy D. Trapp, Attorney at Law, I can guide you through the legal process of creating a comprehensive plan for your estate or that of a loved one.
Benefits Of A Custom Estate Plan
By creating an estate plan, you actively distribute your property, finances and legacy after you’re gone. Combining wills, trusts, living wills and “payable-upon-death” accounts in your plan can prevent confusion and conflict among family members regarding your wishes. Additionally, an estate plan saves time and money that might otherwise be lost in probate.
A sound plan helps your family by doing the following:
- Accounts for all your estate elements
- Clearly defines who inherits which portions
- Makes your end-of-life medical wishes known
- Minimizes fees and legal obligations
- Establishes systems for smooth asset transfer
While considering these elder law issues can be challenging, creating a solid plan significantly benefits you and your family. When you’re ready to begin planning your estate’s future, contact me, Jeremy Trapp, a Putnam County lawyer you can trust.
