Estate Planning
What is Estate Planning?
Estate planning is making a plan in advance on how your assets are distributed after loss of life or incapacitation. Your assets include your home, car, savings accounts, retirement accounts, life insurance, etc.
Why is it important?
Creating an estate plan is one of the most important things you can do to protect the future of your loved ones. Without an estate plan, the courts will determine how your assets are distributed. At Paden Legal Services, we will work with you to create a tailored plan that will protect your assets and interests, for both you and your loved ones. The types of plans created include wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advanced medical directives, and more.
Who is estate planning for?
Estate planning is not just for older individuals or retirees, it is for people of all ages. An illness or an accident can happen to anyone at any age, so it is important to have a plan in place. Unfortunately, too many people do not proactively think about planning; when something happens, their families are left to deal with it.
