Estate Planning FAQs

We understand that estate planning can be a complex and daunting topic. To help our clients make informed decisions, we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions and answers:

• What is Estate Planning? Estate planning involves writing a will, avoiding probate, arranging for care of minor children, saving on estate taxes, or preserving assets for children from a prior marriage.
• What if There is No Will? If the deceased person did not leave a will or if the will is proved invalid, the estate must go through a court process known as probate.
• Who Should Have an Estate Plan? Individuals with real property, parents with minor children, married couples with children from a prior marriage, and those with estates exceeding $1 million should consider creating an estate plan.
• What is a Living Trust? A living trust is a legal entity that you create and transfer some or most of your property into. You remain in control of the property until you pass away, and at your death, it will pass on to your designated beneficiaries.
