You Should Talk with an Estate Planning Lawyer If You Have Family Depending Upon You

If your loved ones need your income or need the services that you provide, you need to make a plan so their quality of life does not decline if something happens to you. This could involve purchasing life insurance and making sure that the insurance transfers appropriately to the right beneficiary. You may also want to use tools like trusts to ensure your loved ones can inherit assets quickly after you pass away.

You Should Talk with an Estate Planning Lawyer If You Have Substantial Assets

If you have a lot of wealth, issues could arise with the management of your money and property in case of your incapacity or death. You need to work with an experienced attorney to ensure that the right people are put in charge of managing your assets in case something happens to you. You should also work with an experienced attorney to create an asset protection plan and to determine if you need to take steps to avoid estate tax.

You Should Talk with an Estate Planning Lawyer If you Want to Provide an Inheritance for Disabled Relatives

If you intend to provide a financial gift for a loved one who has a disability, there is a risk that the assets you provide to your loved one could cause a disqualification from means-tested benefits. An experienced attorney can help with the creation of a special needs trust that ensures an inheritance is managed appropriately and does not cause a loss of benefits like Medicaid.

Pets end up in shelters regularly because their owners pass away and there is no one to provide them with care. You don’t want your pets to end up homeless because something has happened to you.
