What Does Estate Planning Include?
Estate planning can include a variety of tools, each tailored to fit your individual needs and situations. Mr. Martinez can provide you with carefully crafted legal documents to accomplish your wishes and prevent inheritance disputes. Those documents may include:
- Will: The foundation of many estate plans, this legal document states your wishes regarding the distribution of your assets and the care of any minor children.
- Trust: Explore a flexible way to safeguard your assets during and after your lifetime. Many types of trusts offer benefits like avoiding probate and minimizing estate taxes.
- Powers of attorney: Designate someone to make decisions on your behalf should you become unable to do so.
- Advance directive (living will): Set out your wishes regarding medical treatment and end-of-life care.
Mr. Martinez helps people at all stages of life – including those who have just had children, expanded their families, gone through a divorce, bought a home and those looking ahead toward retirement planning.
