The Legal Reader’s recent article entitled “When Should I Start My Estate Planning?” explains that, as we settle down, we should start considering how we’ll provide for and protect those you love. Now is the time to contact an estate planning attorney.
An experienced estate planning attorney—one with the knowledge and skill to help you design a workable, legally binding estate plan that will keep your assets safe as they accumulate, protect your spouse and children and consider the possibility that you may become incapacitated when you least expect it.
No matter what your age, the attorney you hire should have outstanding credentials and testimonials to his/her efficiency and personal concern.
This legal professional must be able to:
- Listen, understand, and address your individual needs
- Clarify your options
- Draft, review, and file all necessary estate planning documents
- Make certain your estate plan covers all contingencies; and
- Is prepared to modify your documents as your life circumstances change.
When you see that the future is unpredictable, you realize that estate planning can help you make that future as secure as possible.
Estate planning can be as complicated as it is essential. Accordingly, regardless of our age, speak with a highly competent estate planning attorney as soon as possible.
As the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically shown us, planning for the unexpected can never be addressed too soon.
