New Year, New Trust

This is the time of year to make resolutions and set goals for the new year. Your list might include goals like getting in shape, organizing your house, and traveling more. Another popular New Year’s resolution is to get a will or trust in place. Our firm can help you cross that goal off your list and it will be easier than you think.

Why should you get your planning done in 2024?

  1. Ensure that your assets transfer to the person(s) of your choice
  2. Identify who is in charge of your estate and any money you leave to minor children
  3. If you have children, name who would take care of them if something happens to you
  4. Identify who will make financial or health decisions for you if you can’t
  5. Preserve your wealth by avoiding probate fees and estate taxes
  6. Perhaps most importantly, you will have peace of mind knowing you have a great plan in place
