We have professionals that have over thirty-five years of experience in estate and trust planning and tax preparation. Estate and trust planning on your own can be a complicated and costly process.
The considerations are:
- State taxes
- Bureaucracy
- Unfair appraisals
- Health care concerns
- Eligibility of heirs
- Life insurance
- Retirement benefits
- Burial or cremation costs
Not knowing your legal and financial rights often ends up costing you more in the end.
Planning what happens to your estate when you're gone can seem frustrating and intimidating.
Thoughts of estate planning often bring more questions than answers:
-
Could an heir be too young to inherit?
-
Should the inheritance be given at a certain age?
-
Is the intended beneficiary in a shaky marriage with divorce a possibility?
-
Are there children from a previous marriage?
-
Should inheritence be protected from potential creditors of the heir?
-
Are there taxes that can be avoided?
-
Are you available to avoid the probate court rules, delays, and costs?
