Estate Planning Services
Estate planning is a crucial step in ensuring that your wealth and assets are distributed according to your wishes after you pass away. A comprehensive estate plan not only articulates your desires but also provides peace of mind for you and your loved ones. At E. H. Howard, we understand the complexities involved in estate planning and are committed to guiding you through each step of the process.
The Importance of a Proper Estate Plan
A proper estate plan is the only way to ensure that your estate wishes are honored effectively and appropriately. Without a plan, your assets may not be distributed as you intended, leading to potential conflicts among heirs and leaving your loved ones in a difficult situation. Our firm's network of dedicated estate lawyers is here to provide you with tailored, tax-efficient, and probate-free guidance to meet all your estate needs.
Protecting Your Family
With a well-crafted estate plan, you protect your family from the risks of disinheritance, public disclosure of inheritances, and burdensome tax implications. It is imperative to consider the impact of these factors on your loved ones, as they may already be grappling with the emotional stress of losing you. Our goal is to make this process as smooth and straightforward as possible, alleviating additional burdens during a challenging time.
A proper estate plan is the key to passing down generational wealth.
In-Depth Review of Beneficiary Forms
As part of our services, we conduct an in-depth review of all your beneficiary forms. It is vital to understand that the beneficiary designations on your retirement accounts, investment accounts, and insurance policies take precedence over any other estate documents you may have prepared. Outdated or incorrect beneficiary forms can lead to unnecessary complications and chaos when it comes time to settle your estate
Creating a will is an essential part of estate planning. It allows you to specify how your assets should be distributed upon your passing. In addition to wills, trusts can provide additional benefits, such as avoiding probate and providing ongoing management of your assets for your beneficiaries. Our lawyers will work closely with you to determine the best options for your unique situation.
We recognize that it can be overwhelming for families to deal with the passing of a loved one. The last thing you want is to add the stress of unresolved estate matters on top of that grief. That's why we take the burden of estate planning off your shoulders, allowing you to focus on what truly matters
