WHEN SHOULD I START PLANNING?

If you’re working, own property or may leave a spouse and/or children behind after a sudden death, the answer is now! It’s important to plan and prepare for the unexpected. Preparing your estate in case of death is no different. There are a few factors to consider to determine the specific requirements needed for appropriate estate planning. We can help guide you through the planning process. Let our experience work for you. A few factors to consider are:

Take stock of all your assets (investments, bank accounts, business interests, retirement accounts, insurance policies, real estate and personal property)
Who would be the decision maker?
What estate planning methods have the best tax implications?
Who is granted guardianship?

These are some of the questions you should ask yourself when planning your estate. In the event that you should become incapacitated, you can also direct your method of care. You will need the skills of an experienced estate and probate attorney. Heskett and Heskett can help. Our attorneys can act as the executor of your estate to help locate heirs, distribute assets, and settle any debts. With nearly half of Americans dying without having a will in place, Heskett and Heskett can help you protect the legacy that you worked so hard to build.

Estate planning is easily neglected. Uncomfortable questions make the process easy to put off until a later date. Most people don’t have a will. Many people have no plans in place in case of a sudden death.
