Estate planning is often overlooked until it is too late. Our recent article, Where There’s a Will, There’s a…Wait, discusses the negative effects of waiting too long to plan for the future. These include increased expense, court involvement, familial fighting, and your wishes being ignored. Gislason & Hunter has the knowledge and experience to mitigate those scenarios.
Estate planning involves more than what your will says. It can help you plan for who should take care of you when you are incapacitated, what medical decisions you would make should you be unable to answer for yourself, and yes, who gets your property. Proper estate planning can protect the family unit, your unmarried partner, prevent sibling in-fighting, and so much more. Each individual’s situation is unique. Your job, your assets (from family heirlooms, to land, to bank accounts), and your family dynamic are just a few factors that can affect how you choose to plan for the future. A well thought-out estate plan, including all the documents you would need going forward, can take into consideration these unique factors. Our experienced attorneys are available to help you prepare and execute your legal documents, ensuring they are professionally drafted to your specifications and comply with current laws.
