Detailed Estate Planning to Secure Your Financial Future
Without proper estate planning, the assets you leave behind for your beloved family members can be quickly depleted by excessive estate taxes, litigation costs or the careless spending of your heirs. Without an estate plan, your family members will inherit based upon a predetermined intestate formula that may be contrary to your wishes and inappropriate to your family's needs. I take a proactive approach in helping my clients keep the wealth within their family at my firm, the Law Office of Robert L. Boydstun, in White Plains, New York.
Without an estate plan, your surviving family members may not get the full benefit of the property that you leave them. You need to make your wishes known and protect their future. Contact me at 866-529-6065.
Controlling Your Future and Protecting Your Family
At the Law Office of Robert L. Boydstun, I help clients with estate planning that encompasses various vehicles, including wills, living wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, powers of attorney and health care proxies. You can control how your assets are distributed. You can use a trust to help protect your heirs from reckless spending, the possibility of losing funds as the result of litigation or a divorce. With an estate plan, you can determine who will manage your assets and how they will be managed if you become incapacitated and you are no longer be able to make those decisions.
The Costly Effects of Not Having an Estate Plan
The benefits of estate planning are not just the preservation of financial assets for your loved ones, but also include safeguarding family harmony. Family disputes over the guardianship of minor children and will contests following your passing can result in courtroom battles and very contentious litigation that can do permanent damage to family relationships. Resources that should go to your heirs now go to paying legal fees and court costs.
Make your intentions known through estate planning and carefully drafted legal documents that are both clear in their meaning and legally enforceable.
