What is an Estate Planning Attorney?
An estate planning attorney is a legal professional who specializes in helping individuals with the creation and management of their estate plans. Estate planning is essential for many people and involves making important decisions about the distribution of assets, property, and wealth, as well as outlining plans for healthcare and guardianship in the event of incapacitation or passing.
What Does an Estate Planning Attorney Do?
Here are some of the key responsibilities and services provided by estate planning attorneys in New York:
Why Is It Important to Have a Will?
Wills are crucial because they allow individuals to dictate how their assets will be distributed after their passing, ensuring that their wishes are followed. They provide a legal framework for designating beneficiaries, appointing guardians for minor children, and even choosing an executor to manage the estate. Without a will, the distribution of assets may be subject to intestate laws, potentially leading to disputes, delays, and unintended consequences for loved ones.
