Protect Your Loved Ones with a Thoughtfully Drafted Will

Welcome to Legacy Wealth Estate Planning Attorneys! As a trusted and experienced firm, we specialize in helping individuals and families plan for the future and protect their assets. One important aspect of estate planning is creating a will, which is a legal document that outlines how you want your assets to be distributed after you pass away.

At Legacy Wealth Estate Planning Attorneys, we understand that drafting a will can be a complex and emotional process. That's why we're here to guide you every step of the way and ensure that your wishes are properly documented.

Here's a closer look at the services we offer when it comes to wills:

Drafting of Wills

If you don't have a will, now is the time to start thinking about creating one. A will allows you to specify how you want your assets to be distributed after you pass away, and it can also include important information such as guardianship arrangements for minor children.

At Legacy Wealth Estate Planning Attorneys, we take the time to fully understand your unique situation and goals when it comes to estate planning. We'll work with you to create a customized will that reflects your wishes and protects your assets.

Here's what you can expect when you work with us to draft a will:

• A comprehensive consultation: During this initial meeting, we'll discuss your assets, financial situation, and any specific wishes you have for the distribution of your estate. We'll also explain the legal process and answer any questions you may have.

• Preparation of the will: Based on the information we gather during the consultation, we'll draft a will that reflects your wishes and meets all legal requirements. We'll review the document with you to ensure that it accurately reflects your intentions.

• Execution of the will: Once the will is finalized, we'll help you execute it according to the laws of your state. This typically involves signing the document in the presence of witnesses and having it notarized.

Beneficiary Designations for Assets Such as Life Insurance and Retirement Accounts

When you create a will, you specify how you want your assets to be distributed after you pass away. However, certain types of assets, such as life insurance policies and retirement accounts, have their own beneficiary designations that supersede the provisions of your will.

At Legacy Wealth Estate Planning Attorneys, we can help you review and update your beneficiary designations to ensure that they align with your overall estate plan. We'll work with you to understand your wishes and goals and help you make any necessary updates to your beneficiary designations.

Guardianship and Conservatorship Proceedings for Minors and Incapacitated Individuals

If you have minor children or an incapacitated adult who is unable to make decisions for themselves, you may need to seek guardianship or conservatorship in order to make decisions on their behalf. Guardianship is a legal relationship in which a person is appointed to make decisions about the personal care and well-being of another person (the ward). Conservatorship is a similar legal relationship in which a person is appointed to manage the financial affairs of another person.
