Estate Planning and Administration

ESTATE PLANNING AND ADMINISTRATION

Estate Planning

People often procrastinate on getting their estate plans done because they think they are too young, or don’t have enough assets, or they just don’t want to think about it. The truth is that almost anyone will benefit from having a properly prepared estate plan, no matter what their age or net worth. And many people who have put off estate planning are surprised by how relieved they feel when they finally get it done. Knowing that their loved ones will be taken care of and that their assets will go where they want them to go often brings an unexpected peace of mind.


Other benefits of having an estate plan include:


  • Being able to designate a guardian for your children
  • Knowing your final wishes will be carried out
  • Minimizing disputes among family members
  • Being able to keep aspects of your estate private
  • Knowing that if you become incapacitated, you will already have a plan in place

Guardianship & Power of Attorneys

When it comes to your family or loved ones and protecting their financial future or protecting them from themselves, it is important to have a plan in place so that you can properly protect them and prepare for their future. Many people end up needing to obtain a guardianship or a power of attorney, but often wait until it is too late or until they urgently need to protect their family member or loved one. There are many steps that you can take to protect yourself or your family before it is too late like designating a Durable or Health Care Power of Attorney to make medical or financial decisions should you or your family member become incapacitated.


There are also circumstances in which you may need to obtain a guardianship over a minor child who has come into your care or a child whom you wish to receive the care and custody. In any event Homesley & Wingo has a combined 30-plus years of experience in helping clients set up power of attorneys and seek guardianship over their loved ones or a child.
