When You Need Advanced Estate Planning
You may need more than a simple Will if you have
- considerable assets;
- a business;
- unusual assets;
- a Non-Traditional Family;
- Special Needs; or
- lastly, family issues.
Tax Implications of a Large Estate with Considerable Assets
If you have a sizable Estate, State Tax Authorities and the IRS may demand substantial taxes from your beneficiaries. You want your assets to go to your loved ones, not to the State and IRS. Advanced Estate Planning can help you develop strategies right now to help limit the tax burden your beneficiaries will have to face.
You Own a Business, or Your Estate Includes Unusual Assets
- Our Estate Planning Attorneys must review unusual assets to ensure your beneficiaries can secure the assets without undue Probate or tax issues.
- You have a business to pass on, so succession is an issue.
Family Situations
- You expect there may be disagreements over how your Estate will be distributed even though you clearly state your wishes in a Will.
- Family members or beneficiaries have struggled with bankruptcy or if they may not be able to manage a more substantial Estate. Our Estate Planning Attorneys can develop a Trust or other instruments to protect your family in ways that outright distribution cannot.
- Lastly, one of your beneficiaries is disabled. In these cases, it’s essential to preserve your loved ones’ ability to secure government funding and benefits while also having access to the assets you wish to leave them.
Special Needs
You want to provide for a pet or if you have any special requests or requirements.
