We understand that no one wants to think about death or the incapacity of a loved one. However, you can ease your family’s grief by having PROPER PLANNING for these moments. BURGER LAW will help you plan for all possible life events so that you and your family have peace of mind knowing that you have a proper plan in place to face any situation.
Many people initially contact an estate planning attorney and say “I need a Will.”
Did you know that a Will is a probate document and having a Will alone does not avoid the probate court process?
In fact, sometimes having just a Will and no other planning documents only complicates the situation. A Will only takes effect after a person passes away. However, not every situation requires an expensive or complex trust to avoid probate.
It is also important to have other documents known as powers of attorney that become effective if a person is alive but unable to make decisions. These documents are often more beneficial for loved ones.
However, not every situation requires an expensive or complex trust to avoid probate.
There is a lot of misinformation surrounding estate planning, which is why we start every meeting by educating you on the different options. We help you select a plan that best fits your goals and needs. We create your plan, not a cookie-cutter plan.
Our estate plans include all documents needed, such as:
- Wills or Revocable Trusts
- Marital Property Agreements
- Powers of Attorney (health care and finances)
- Funding documents (deeds, assignments of business interests, etc.)
The planning does not stop after the documents have been signed. We create a comprehensive post-execution packet to help you ensure your plan will be carried out as intended, and your family will have all the information needed. This includes instructions on titling assets and naming beneficiaries, a list of important information you should keep with your estate planning documents, and resources to help your family navigate the estate administration process when needed.
