Estate Planning Overview

Estate planning allows people to provide direction about the disposition of their assets after their death. Estate planning can include wills and trusts, as well as powers of attorney and health care directives. Both state &  federal laws impact estate planning, and some may find that more elaborate or creative legal means are necessary for their situation. Some of these more complex techniques include trusts, family limited partnerships (FLPs) and limited liability companies (LLCs). Estate tax and other estate-related issues are hot legislative items, with new laws being passed on a regular basis. That is why an experienced estate planning lawyer is an essential in assuring that your unique estate planning goals are understood and carried out. If you have estate planning-related legal questions, then contact Cioe & Wagenblast, PC. in Valparaiso Indiana today!

Why Do You Need An Estate Plan?

Some people think that estate planning is only for the wealthy. However, the fact of the matter is that everyone should have an estate plan. Estate planning simply means the process of aligning your financial & legal affairs, focused on the main goals such as;

• Selecting decision-makers who will handle your financial affairs and medical decisions in the event of your disability.
• Making sure that after your death, your assets are distributed to whom you choose in the most efficient & tax-advantageous manner possible.
• Assuring the financial security of dependent children
• Minimizing the financial burden that your death could otherwise have on your family.

Each client situation is unique and that is why you should design your estate plan specifically for you, based on your goals, family situation & financial situation. There are certain documents we recommend everyone have, and others that only apply in certain circumstances.

At Cioe & Wagenblast PC, our experienced estate planning attorneys are ready to help you prepare, review or update your estate plan to make sure that it protects your future, as well as the future of your family.
