Why is Estate Planning even Important? To better help you understand here are some our FAQ’s
What is Your Estate?
It’s important to be thoughtful and strategic about how, when, and to whom your estate is divided and distributed. Inaction can lead to the government taking over control of the distribution of your assets after you pass. This is known as intestacy and generally involves probate court. Because this intestacy process leaves your loved ones with few options and places your legacy in the hands of the government.
Is a Will the same as an Estate Plan?
Even when your distribution plans for your assets are honored, it is easy for loved ones to see an inheritance as a windfall. Too often, a person’s legacy is frittered away by poor decisions made by grieving family members. That’s why most inheritances are gone within a mere five years of receipt. A failure to consider the long-term implications of their financial choices often results in one’s inheritance disappearing practically overnight. With proper estate planning, you can ensure your beneficiaries are taken care of and that the assets are distributed in a way that will be the most beneficial to all involved.
Do I need a professional to create my Estate Plan?
How long does it take to create an Estate Plan?
If everything is going to my Spouse do I need an Estate Plan?
What happens if, after your spouse dies, you get into a car accident and are sued? If the assets you owned jointly automatically became yours alone, this money and property are available to satisfy any judgment that could be entered against you resulting from a lawsuit.
How do I name guardians for my children?
Even though it’s hard and no one can raise your children as well as you can, move forward and select the guardians you think will muddle through the best. Some people delay estate planning because they can’t make this decision. Don’t do that; your inaction puts your children at risk. And, be sure to name back-up guardians as well in case your first choice is unable to serve if the time comes.

Estate Planning Mom®
As both a mom to two little girls and an attorney, I have a very unique frame of mind when it comes to estate planning with minor children.
I work and plan with families who have minor children to ensure that their kids are protected. This allows parents the peace of mind to know that if the unthinkable did happen, their kids would be protected.
I look forward to working with you and helping you protect your family.
Thank you,
