Yes. Everyone needs an estate plan. A failure to have an estate plan means that you have decided to let the state determine what happens to you and your property. Estate planning is your only opportunity to make your wishes known prior to you being incapacitated or dying. Whether you have multiple homes and investments or a single family home and a few sentimental items of value, an estate plan can help streamline the process for your surviving family members.

What Can a Will Do?

A will is essential for legally protecting your children, spouse, and assets.

Here are some of the benefits of having a will:

• You can state how you wish your estate to be distributed
• You can decide who will care for your minor children
• It can minimize estate taxes
• You can disinherit those who would otherwise inherit
• Your family members can sometimes avoid probate or drastically reduce the time and cost of probating your estate
• You can make gifts and charitable donations through your will

Moreover, no one knows when their last day will be. If you procrastinate this for too long, you will leave your loved ones unprotected if an untimely death were to occur. The last thing you want is for your family to suffer in your absence, so look out for them by creating a will now rather than later.

How Else Can an Estate Planning Lawyer Help?

Estate planning involves more than a will. At Norred Law, PLLC, our estate planning attorneys can help you find ways to reduce estate taxes, establish durable power of attorney and medical power of attorney, designate or exclude guardians, and designate whether you want to be kept alive after suffering a irreversible condition or allowed to pass.
