Why is estate planning important, even if I don’t have many assets?
Estate planning is about more than just wealth. It ensures your wishes are respected if you become incapacitated, appoints decision-makers you trust, and clarifies how your assets—no matter the size—will be distributed. It also helps prevent family disputes and unnecessary legal complications down the road.
How often should I update my estate plan?
We recommend reviewing your documents at least every three to five years, or whenever a major life event occurs, such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or the passing of a beneficiary. Staying proactive helps keep your plan current and aligned with your evolving needs.
Can I avoid probate with a proper estate plan?
Yes. By establishing certain types of Trusts and ensuring your beneficiary designations are set up correctly, you can significantly reduce or even eliminate the need for probate. We’ll help you structure your estate to streamline inheritance and minimize delays.
