What Is an Estate Plan?

Estate planning is much more than a list of who gets what when you are gone. Estate planning is the process of organizing one’s assets, liabilities, and legacy to best fit your needs during your life and for future generations.

Therefore, estate plans deal not only with who gets what after your gone, but who is responsible for making decisions about your estate and personal health in the event of your incapacity and death.

Estate plans differ for every person as every individuals’ life goals differ.

However, a smart and strategic estate plan can help you:

• Reach your life goals
• Effectively manage your assets
• Avoid tax liabilities
• And set your family on the road to success

Whether you need a will and power of attorney or desire a more comprehensive estate plan, The Diamond Law Group has the experience to meet your goals.

Why You Need an Estate Plan

An estate plan is necessary to make the probate process smoother and to ensure that the Court knows what your wishes are in the event of your incapacity or death.

Probate is the process in which one’s assets are distributed and last wishes are attended too under the supervision of the Probate Court. These tasks are usually accomplished by an executor who is appointed by the Courts.

The executor ensures execution of your expressed wishes, orderly and fair winding up of the estate, and impartiality to beneficiaries. Without an estate plan, your estate will be distributed according to the judgement of the Court, depriving you of the opportunity to direct how your legacy is passed on.

However, our attorney knows how to formulate individualized estate plans to meet the unique needs of each individual, so their wishes are carried out and probate is avoided.

By providing an executor of your choice a plan for how your estate is to be distributed, a good estate plan avoids the probate process and allows you the comfort of knowing your wishes will be done.
