Many people unfortunately associate the term "estate planning" with uncomfortable ideas about aging, mortality and loss of control over one's assets. As dedicated estate planning lawyers, we see estate planning in quite a different light. Estate planning proactively deals with issues that matter to everyone, including the following:
- Evaluating life goals, including financial goals, values and relationships
- Taking purposeful steps toward designing and ensuring one's own legacy
- Protecting assets, protecting family, promoting ideals and guarding businesses and properties
- Planning for a smooth transfer of assets from one generation to the next
- Carrying out the transfer of assets according to one's own wishes — even beyond one's own lifetime
- Standing up for what one believes is right and fair in cases of will contests or trust litigation
- Caring for vulnerable family members or other designated beneficiaries
- Keeping monetary and material aspects of life in line with one's beliefs and ideals
What are your thoughts and expectations regarding the disposition of your assets at the end of your lifetime? Who would you want to act as guardians of your children in the event of a premature death?
