A Will or Living Trust?

For most, a will is the first choice for passing on an estate to heirs. But it's not the only choice. Among other estate planning tools, the revocable living trust is gaining popularity. In addition to being one of several ways to avoid probate, living trusts may offer before-death and after-death advantages.

Whether a living revocable trust is right for you depends on your circumstances. Consultation with a qualified attorney would be needed. Bradford Miller Law can counsel you so you can make an educated decision about your estate. Give us a call so we can help you through this process and advise you from a legal standpoint. We will help you prepare all the legal documents suited to your personal situation.

Advantages of having an estate planning attorney

While preparing a Will on your own is certainly better than not having a Will at all, I encourage you to have a competent estate planning lawyer prepare your estate documents. A lot of mistakes that we make in life can be fixed. However, if you make mistakes on your self-prepared estate-planning documents, your family and financial goals could be in jeopardy.

Advise from a legal standpoint can make a world of a difference in preparing all the legal documents suited to your personal situation. Another advantage of having an estate-planning attorney is that you can check with them about any alterations necessitated by changes in your personal life or by changes in federal or state regulations.

The price of an estate plan depends on what you need and want but a simple will can cost as little as $500.00.  If you are interested in a free consultation, contact Bradford Miller Law today.

Beneficiary Designations

It is important to review the beneficiary designations on your Insurance and Retirement policies along with your will or trust. These designations are often overlooked when an estate plan is updated. The last thing you want to do is update your will or trust to write out an ex-spouse or disinherit a friend or relative person but inadvertently leave that person as the beneficiary of your life insurance.

Bradford Miller Law can advise and direct you in matters such as this to avoid any potential problems when updating or planning your estate. Give us a call so we can help you through this process and advise you from a legal standpoint. We will help you prepare all the legal documents suited to your personal situation.
