Lawyers for Assistance Setting Up a Last Will and Testament
Every adult should have a will as part of their overall estate plan. Wills are fundamental estate planning documents that designate, in writing, your final wishes after you pass on.

Lawyers for Assistance Setting Up a Last Will and Testament
Setting up a will helps you accomplish several estate planning objectives, including:
Wills are essential if you have minor children and property. They provide clear guidance to your executor regarding your intentions and how you want your final wishes to be carried out. Wills are especially important for individuals with significant assets. A will can be used in conjunction with more complex estate planning tools, such as trusts, to bypass the probate process and pass on your hard-earned wealth to future generations with minimal tax liability.
Revoking Your Will after a Divorce
If you are going through a divorce, this is a good time to revisit your overall estate plan. One of the first steps you will likely take after the marriage is dissolved is to revoke your current will and create a new one. When you create your new will, you can update your beneficiary designations, appoint a new executor, and make any other necessary changes. Our attorneys can guide you through this process to ensure that all important issues are addressed.
