Estate planning

Estate planning is important for any individual or couple who owns their home. Planning now for your death not only ensures that your loved ones are completely aware of your wishes after your death, but it can also save them money as well. Estate planning involves the wills, trusts, beneficiary designations, powers of appointment, property ownership (joint tenancy with rights of survivorship, tenancy in common, tenancy by the entirety), gift and powers of attorney.
The goals of estate planning can be as complex or as simple as you need it to be, but it is especially beneficial if you are responsible for any minors. The Legal Planning firm is here to help guide you through all of these different areas and provide sound advice on how it can work best for your needs.

Probate Law

Probate is essentially the entire administration process of a deceased person. This includes organizing a person’s assets, money and possessions and distributing them as inheritance after a person dies. It is important when you’re creating your will that you also appoint an executor of the Will to ensure this process runs as smoothly as possible.

Guardianship

Guardianship is the important process by which a parent (or parents) appoint a guardian for their children in the event of their death. These are crucial decisions that should be made by any individual, especially if they have a family, but can be uncomfortable to deal with. The caring team at the Legal Planning Firm are aware of the sensitive nature of these topics and are here to make sure their clients are comfortable and make the best decisions for their estate.

Real Estate Transactions

Real estate law is the area of law that covers buying, selling or using land. It governs how people acquire property and what they can do with any property that they own. Any law firm that practices this type of law must be fluent in their state’s law as most of the rules and regulations that apply will come from the state and not the federal government (although there are a few exceptions). As real estate law can vary greatly from state to state, it’s important to choose a firm that is an expert in the state you are looking to purchase in.
