Common Questions
What is the difference between a will and a trust?
A will is a legal document that outlines how your assets will be distributed after your death. A trust, on the other hand, can manage and distribute your assets during your lifetime and after your death. Trusts can offer more control over your assets and may provide tax benefits and privacy.
How can I minimize estate taxes?
Minimizing estate taxes involves various strategies, such as gifting assets during your lifetime, setting up irrevocable trusts, and taking advantage of tax exemptions. Our professionals can help you develop a customized strategy to reduce the tax burden on your estate.
What is probate, and how can I avoid it?
Probate is the legal process of validating a will and distributing assets to beneficiaries. It can be time-consuming and costly. Setting up trusts, designating beneficiaries, and jointly owning property are ways to avoid probate and simplify the transfer of your assets.
How do I plan for long-term care costs?
Long-term care costs can be managed through insurance policies, savings, and Medicaid planning. We can help you explore these options and develop a plan that ensures you have the resources to cover potential long-term care expenses.
Why should I regularly update my estate plan?
Life events such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or changes in financial status can impact your estate plan. Regular updates ensure that your plan reflects your current wishes and circumstances, providing peace of mind that your legacy is protected.
