Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a will and a trust?
A will goes through probate - a public court process - before assets are distributed. A trust allows assets to transfer directly to beneficiaries without probate, which can save time and cost. An attorney can help you determine which is right for your situation.
When should I start estate planning?
As soon as you have assets to protect, dependents to provide for, or healthcare wishes to document - which for most adults is right now. Waiting is the most common mistake in estate planning.
Can you help with estate planning for a business owner?
Yes - business succession and asset protection are part of comprehensive estate planning. The firm can address how your business interests fit into your overall legacy plan.
