What legal issues need to be addressed in wills or estates?
When most people think about estate planning, they tend to think about wills. While the last will and testament is still the most commonly used and trusted estate planning tool, it is certainly not the only tool available. Other tools include:
- Jointly titled property
- Trusts (revocable trusts, irrevocable trusts)
- Living wills
- Powers of attorney
- Advanced directives
Our estate planning attorneys believe that building a strong estate plan starts with listening. We want to hear from you about your specific legal needs. That way, we can work with you to develop a unique plan that helps you achieve your specific goals.
Why do I need a will or estate planning?
Without a will, your family could spend months in court and thousands of dollars trying to prove what your original intentions were before you died. Even if every family agrees on what should be done, your family will still have to go to court and go through the probate process.
An iron-clad will written by an experienced attorney is also less likely to be challenged by someone after your death.
How can an Indianapolis estate lawyer help me?
Probate has a negative reputation. In reality, in Indiana, probate is a fairly streamlined process for administering a loved one's estate.
Even so, probate and other aspects of wills and estates can be complicated and confusing. That's why it's important to contact us as soon as possible. We can help you draft a will or another important estate planning tool that fits your specific needs. Call (317) 578-1630 and schedule a free case evaluation.
