If you have children, own a home, or have other significant assets, it’s important to have a will, a power of attorney, and other estate planning documents in order to ensure the protection of you and your loved ones and the preservation of your hard-earned money.
Guardian Legal PLC can help you put in place a will-centered or trust-centered estate plan that allows you to maintain control of your assets and pass them on to whom you want, when you want, and how you want.
Guardian Legal PLC also helps executors, personal representatives, and beneficiaries navigate the probate process.
If you made a will years ago, it is important to review your estate plan with an attorney to make sure it addresses your needs and intentions as of today. This is especially true if you have since married, had children, divorced, moved to a different state, or accumulated significant assets. You should also make sure that your will and other planning documents comply with current law.
Through a power of attorney, you are able to designate a trusted person to handle your business affairs and/or medical decisions when you are incapacitated and unable to do so yourself. Whether the disability is temporary or permanent, it is important to have a power of attorney in place so that these decisions can be made in a timely way.
In the absence of a power of attorney, a formal court hearing and appointment of a guardian and conservator is required. This is a public process that is both expensive and time-consuming.
