All scheduling can be done online for your convenience. Estate Planning is essential for everyone, regardless of their wealth and age. Estate planning - or its absence - impacts events after your death and during your lifetime. Following your death, estate planning ensures that your assets pass to whom you want, when you want, in the way you want.
Equally important is the effect estate planning has on events during your life. The downside to our increased life expectancy is the increased potential that we will become disabled or mentally incapacitated. This can be tremendously difficult on caretakers, but we can assist them now by appointing a medical and financial power of attorney, documenting our wishes regarding life sustaining measures, and engaging in elder care planning.
Dictating these choices in advance allows your voice to be heard when you can no longer speak for yourself. Damaging family conflict is far more likely to arise when there is no guidance as to end of life decisions, final arrangements, and the disposition of your estate.

While nobody wants to think about death or disability, establishing an estate plan is one of the most important steps you can take to protect yourself and your loved ones.
Proper estate planning not only puts you in charge of your finances, it can also spare your loved ones of the expense, delay and frustration associated with managing your affairs when you pass away or become disabled.
If you become incapacitated, you won't be able to manage your own financial affairs.
Many are under the mistaken impression that their spouse or adult children can automatically take over for them in case they become incapacitated.

This type of Trust can be changed by you at any point during your lifetime.
You're in control of all of your assets, and they are re-titled and placed into the Trust for you to do whatever you'd like with them.
You can name yourself as the Trustee, change the beneficiaries, tailor the terms of the Trust in ways that take care of, for instance, your surviving spouse -- then have the remainder of the assets pass on to your children or grandchildren, in whatever manner you choose.
A Revocable Living Trust is one of the most uniquely maleable Estate Planning tools available for both protection of our hard-earned assets that we've acquired over a lifetime as well as the ease of changing its terms and avoiding having it probated.

A Will is simply a legal document which spells out how we want our personal property distributed after our death, who are our beneficiaries, who will care for our minor children, and who will be our executor (the person who is legally responsible for ensuring our wishes are carried out).
Keep in mind, a Will may not be adequate for those wanting to avoid their loved ones having to navigate the probate process after we die; those wishing to create a Trust for children, grandchildren or other loved ones; or others seeking flexibility in protecting their financial legacy in ways that a Will may limit us from accomplishing.
