State-by-state differences in matters around taxes, inheritance, marital property and more make a thorough review imperative.
The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has pushed many people to make long-delayed decisions about estate planning. Many people will try the do-it-yourself route via various websites or books. Internet DIY websites make it easy to download forms, but there are mistakes people make when they try do-it-yourself estate planning.
When something is tailored to one’s needs, everything can go smoother.
There’s nothing like a once-in-a-lifetime global pandemic to focus one’s thinking. This year has been one for the books.
The Covid-19 has produced a rise in estate planning…but not a large enough one. Most Americans still do not have a last will and testament.
Most people wish to have more control over who and how their assets are managed than what the state laws provide, and so they draft documents that can override the Laws of Intestacy, when those laws do not match their objectives.

Estate planning is the process of arranging who will receive your assets when you die.
The passing of a spouse is a devastating time in a person’s life and one that throws their world into turmoil. While in the midst of grieving, they’re confronted with a multitude of responsibilities requiring their attention — not only the immediate tasks of preparing for memorial services and notifying family and friends, but also beginning to tackle the requisite legal notifications and financial changes.
