Estate Planning and Probate 

Since more than half of all people are expected to have a period of disability during their lifetime, it is of utmost importance to have an estate plan. 

The Benefits of Estate Plans

Some of the benefits include:
  • Determining who will take care of your minor children so that a court doesn't
  • Preventing the State from deciding who gets your property when you pass away
  • Providing for the distribution, over time, of your property to beneficiaries who are currently too young to receive a lump sum or are unable to manage their entire inheritance
  • Deciding who will manage your estate and distribute your assets when you pass away
  • Keeping your business and personal affairs in order if you become incapacitated
