Here’s Why We Chose to Focus on Estate Planning Information and Attorneys

Some estate planning attorneys describe estate planning law as “happy law”. It may seem silly because estate planning involves thought, conversation, and planning around money, incapacity, and death.

But, for those of us in the midst of the estate planning world, it truly is “happy law”. After all, we just help folks, like you, all day by showing them how to protect all that they love, while not getting stressed out or going bankrupt.

This is our thought process:

Wouldn’t you love to be able to help folks:

• Find an estate planning attorney they can trust and depend on?
• Ensure their beloved pets will always be cared for and won’t be dumped in a shelter or abandoned?
• Know that the guardians they choose will raise their children, if they can’t?
• Feel safe because their child’s inheritance won’t be taken by a divorcing spouse?
• Appoint someone they trust to make health care decisions for them, if they can’t?
• Understand that a gift they give in trust won’t disqualify their loved one from governmental assistance?
• Set up charities and private foundations to make the community and the world a better place?
• Set up a trust so that predators and conmen will never be able to trick loved ones out of their inheritances?
• Sleep well at night, knowing that their children (and grandchildren) will be able to go to college?
• Protect their business and personal assets from lawsuits?
• Prevent family discord?
• Minimize taxes and fees?
• Protect loved ones who suffer from addictions such as drug, alcohol, and gambling addictions?
• Prevent the unintentional disinheritance of children during a remarriage?
• Create a legacy that will be handed down for generations?
