Massachusetts Estate Planning and Probate Attorneys
What Is Estate Planning?
Estate Planning is the process by which individuals make comprehensive arrangements for the distribution of their personal property and real estate upon their death. Estate Planning can also allow an individual to plan for the management of their property and care in the event of an unforeseen disability. A properly prepared estate plan can avoid many legal problems and the excessive financial costs that occur when someone fails to plan. Estate Planning not only allows you to control the distribution of of your belongings after your death; but can ensure the care of your children and will reflect the values, morals, and beliefs that you maintained during your life.
Why Prepare An Estate Plan?
If you have not executed a will or a trust, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will impose its own structured plan for the distribution of your estate and the care of your minor children. This distribution scheme does not take your considerations and desires into account, and rarely carries out an your’s true intentions. A valid and enforceable estate plan ensures that your property is distributed according to your personal wishes after your death, ensure that you are properly cared for in the event of disability, and makes sure that your children are properly cared for. Regardless of how much property you own, whether you are married or single, or if you have children, it is important that everyone has an estate plan.
Top 5 Reasons to Prepare An Estate Plan
- Avoid having the State decide what to do with your property at death;
- Assure and control the financial stability of loved ones;
- Plan for disability or incapacity in the event that you cannot make your own financial of health care decisions;
- Ensure that your minor children are adequately cared for and provided for;
- Protect yourself and your heirs from creditors, marriage/divorce, and/or financial irresponsibility;
What is Probate?
Probate is the legal process that occurs after you die whereby your property is distributed to your heirs. For more information on our Massachusetts Probate services, visit our probate page [here].
