Estate Planning Attorney

What Is An Estate? Your estate includes all your assets, both financial and non-financial, from houses to smaller personal items. It’s everything you own—everything you’ve worked so hard to accumulate in your lifetime. Distributing an estate after you die can be straightforward. However, the quick, complete, and hassle-free distribution of your estate hinges on the quality of your estate plan. What’s In An Estate Plan? Contrary to popular belief, estate planning is not about documents! It is about working with a skilled and empathetic attorney who delves deeply into your family and asset situation, uncovering any relevant family dynamics along the way. That attorney should then guide you through the process of creating a plan that will leave a legacy in the way that is right for your family. Every family is different; there is no one size fits all plan. With that being said, documents are of course important and are the byproduct of the planning that we do. While the exact documents that comprise your estate plan will be unique to your financial situation, priorities and family dynamics, they may include a: Last Will and Testament Revocable Living Trust Certificate of Trust Assignment of Personal Property to Trust Financial Power of Attorney Advance Health Care Directive Living Will Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Release Get Help From A Skilled San Diego Estate Planning Attorney You’ve worked a lifetime to build your estate.
