Frequently Asked Questions

When should I start estate planning?
Estate planning should begin as soon as you have assets or dependents. It's especially important after major life events like marriage, having children, or acquiring significant assets.
What happens if I die without a will?
If you die without a will (intestate), your assets will be distributed according to state laws, which may not align with your wishes. This can lead to lengthy probate processes and family disputes.
How often should I update my estate plan?
Review your estate plan every 3-5 years or after major life changes such as marriage, divorce, births, deaths, or significant changes in assets or laws.
What's the difference between a will and a trust?
A will takes effect after death and goes through probate, while a living trust takes effect immediately and avoids probate. Trusts offer more privacy and flexibility in asset distribution.
