Your bank accounts, investments, real estate, properties, and other assets are yours to keep throughout your lifetime. Once you pass away, a comprehensive estate plan will ensure your assets get distributed to the people you choose. The right estate plan can minimize estate taxes and avoid probate fees, so you leave more to your family and friends. An estate plan can also make sure that if you pass away, your children will be taken care of by the people you want, in the way you want.
Estate planning also allows you to create a plan for medical instructions and end-of-life care. Many people are concerned about how they might communicate their medical wishes if they become incapacitated. With estate planning tools like a health care proxy and a power of attorney, you can rest assured that your wishes will be respected, even if you can no longer convey them.
When making such an important decision, it’s essential to find an experienced estate planning lawyer who will create an estate plan that’s unique to you and who will clearly explain your plan so you understand it. Other law firms might try to force your assets and your wealth into an existing estate plan that doesn’t quite meet your needs. At the Heritage Law Center, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we’ll create an estate plan that accommodates your unique goals and your financial situation.
When searching for an estate planning law firm, you should also look for a team that will build a solid relationship with you. Some firms treat their clients like just another number, avoiding their calls and billing them for a 15-minute conversation. We bill for estate planning on a flat fee basis, so you don’t have to hesitate to call us. Our team wants to help you be prepared your entire life.
As a young man, Mr. Karr saw first-hand the consequences of failing to have an estate plan in place when his grandmother died without a proper estate plan. Then early in his career, he worked at a law practice that placed company profit above compassionate service. Those experiences inspired Mr. Karr to create a new kind of law center; one focused on providing compassionate guidance and expert knowledge. As a husband and the father of a young daughter, Mr. Karr is dedicated to assisting individuals and families who, like him, want to provide for and protect those they love.
