Estate Planning
Estate planning helps families eliminate uncertainty around the incapacity or death of a spouse, parent, or guardian. Documents Tonya may recommend include wills, trusts, and/or financial and medical powers of attorney.
A will provides reassurance by making a specific plan for property distribution after death, creating guardianship and trusts for minor children, and naming an executor to manage the estate. With professional help, drafting a will is a fairly straightforward process that simplifies the legal process for a grieving family after a death. Wills are state-law-specific documents that should be drafted by an attorney in conjunction with a complete estate plan; do-it-yourself wills can result in costly irreversible errors.
