Estate Planning & Legal Services FAQs
Life Counsel Planning is here to help you understand the estate planning process in the best way possible. Below are some frequently asked questions to help guide you through the process of getting started right away.
- ✓ Estate planning is the process of organizing your assets and interests to plan how they will be handled and distributed in the event of your incapacity or death. Whether you want to protect your family, choose guardians for minor children, or minimize probate issues, estate planning will bring you peace of mind with a legally binding document for your loved ones.
- ✓ Wills designate where your assets will go when you die and give you the option to name guardians for children. With a trust, you can be more specific about how your assets will be handled, avoid issues in probate, and make plans to minimize taxes. Both can be used together in a comprehensive estate plan.
- ✓ We can advise on Medicaid eligibility, long-term care, guardianship, elder law issues, and more. Our knowledgeable staff is here to ensure that you or your loved one’s rights and needs are met as you age into retirement.
