Campbell Law may be able to assist you in your estate planning needs. Contact us today to learn more about what our estate planning attorneys may be able to do for you.
Wills
Having a will determines who gets control of what assets when you pass away. In your will, you inventory your estate, outline all existing debts, create a plan for paying off debts and creditors, distribute assets to beneficiaries, and name a guardian for any minor children.
Your property will be divided among your spouse and children if you do not have a will and go through the probate process. Writing a will allows you to distribute assets intentionally and allows your heirs to access your assets more quickly.
A will can help mitigate disputes between beneficiaries because your wishes are clearly outlined.
Trust
A trust is similar to a will. In a trust, you can leave certain assets to specific beneficiaries.
A trustee manages assets in a trust. When assets are put into a trust, they don’t have to go through probate and may have certain tax advantages.
Power of Attorney
You can grant power of attorney for healthcare and financial matters. Giving someone power of attorney provides the legal authority for them to make decisions on your behalf if you are unable to.
Spousal Support
A living will or an advanced directive outlines the type of healthcare or treatment you might want to receive. Doctors and medical professionals use a living will to understand your wishes.
