Achieve
comprehensive estate planning goals, from the most traditional level
of estate planning to the most advanced level of tax-saving strategies.
Estate Planning
Floyd E. Rogers Jr. Attorney, handles a variety of estate planning matters, including planning
for the distribution of an individual's property at his or her death
and taking into account wills, taxes, insurance, property, and trusts
so as to gain the maximum benefit of all laws, while, at the same
time, carrying out the person's wishes.
By way of example, estate planning may include wills, spousal and
children's trusts, insurance trusts, special needs trusts, revocable
living trusts, irrevocable trusts, advance medical directives, powers
of attorney (general, special and medical), as well as an array of
sophisticated planning techniques used to protect assets from unnecessary
probate costs and taxation. Ignoring the issue of estate planning
could result in your estate being distributed by the probate court
in the manner imposed by law. You will have no say in how your estate
will be distributed or who the administrator will be. If you want
to direct the passing of your assets at death, name an executor, and
keep taxes and expenses to a minimum, you need to contact an experienced
estate planning lawyer.
Wills and Trusts -Using a Form Instead of Hiring an Experienced
Estate Planning Lawyer
It is unlikely that the generic form will or trust you downloaded
from the Internet has taken into account the legal requirements of
Colorado. A form will or trust will not take your wishes into account
either. In the long run, a 'do-it-yourself' will or trust may be more
expensive than consulting with an estate planning lawyer. For example,
for a trust to be effective it takes more than simple drafting: the
assets must be transferred into it. Without proper legal assistance,
all of the tax benefits of using a trust can be lost.
