Estate Planning Services for Families, Couples, and Individuals in the Catawba Valley
Your primary estate planning concern may be providing financially for your family or appointing a guardian for your children if something happens to you. Even if you do not have a spouse or children, though, you still need an estate plan to provide for distribution of your assets in the event of your passing, or to arrange for someone to make medical or financial decisions for you if you are no longer able to make them for yourself.
The cost of failing to make an estate plan is often much greater than the expense of making one. If you became unable to make decisions and needed a legal guardian appointed, there would be increased legal and court costs, and the appointed guardian might not be who you would prefer. If you were to die without an estate plan, your assets would be distributed according to state law, which may not be according to your wishes. Our goal is to help you maintain control over these important choices.
We take the time to talk with you, help you identify your estate planning goals, and assist you with:
- Wills
- Trusts
- Durable Financial Powers of Attorney
- Health Care Powers of Attorney
- Medical Authorizations
- Living Wills/Advance Directives
