Why Should I Pay an Attorney When There Are Forms Available on the Internet?
A form is not able to give you specific legal advice tailored to your particular situation and needs.
The laws impacting estate planning are constantly changing. Retaining counsel to help you navigate the process is critical and will help your descendants avoid unnecessary litigation and probate or administration costs.
As baby boomers and their parents age, they are living longer and often, living with chronic medical conditions. The cost of long term care continues to spiral out of control and families struggle to meet the needs of their aging members.
If you already have an Estate Plan in place, you should review it throughout your lifetime as each stage of life brings different reasons for an estate plan; different issues that need to be addressed, and often changes in the law which may need to implemented into your plan.
Your Estate Plan should be reviewed with the birth of a child, upon a divorce, with the death of a spouse or child, each decade, upon a decline in health, retirement, and if there is a significant change in financial circumstances.
By implementing an Estate Plan now, you can avoid bickering and confusion later. An Estate plan spells out to your family members and/or beneficiaries how you would want things handled were a crisis to arise or upon your death. Being clear about your intentions can not only prevent drawn out costly legal battles but can keep harmony amongst your loved ones.
