Estate Planning FAQs

• Why should you consult with an Estate Planning
  Attorney?
• Two common excuses for avoiding estate planning
  are "I am not wealthy" and "I am too young."
  Estate Planning is equally as important for
  people with substantial wealth as well as those
  with modest assets.  Most persons, including
  young people, will benefit with a consultation
  because incapacitation/death could happen at any
  time. 
• I already have a Will.  When do I need to review
  and possibly update my estate plan?
• You should consult with a licensed attorney upon
  any major life changes such as marriage/divorce,
  remarriage, birth or adoption of children, and/or
  a significant change in assets.

What are some advantages to having a Revocable
Trust vs. a Will? 

• The terms of a Trust are contained in a private
  document, while the terms of a Will become a
  matter of public record
• Avoidance of Probate for Trust Assets
• Avoidance of out-of-state probate proceedings
