Estate planning
Everyone needs an estate plan of some type. Whether you’re newly married or retired, your estate planning needs will change with each stage of life. Planning in advance is important to protect the hard work and legacy for the ones you love. At Southerland Law Firm, we provide one on one attention in order to explain all of your options and find the best plan to fit your specific needs and objectives. Failure to create an estate plan can result in excess taxes assessed against your estate which minimizes the inheritance you leave to your loved ones, and even government involvement in personal family decisions including who cares for your children or how your assets are divided.
Other important decisions such as who is responsible to make health care, legal, and financial decisions should you become unconscious or incompetent need to be in place in order to avoid confusion and disagreements that can divide even the closest of families. In addition, each person needs to have in place specific end of life medical treatment decisions in order to avoid placing such burdens on close family members who may have difficulty choosing the right treatment for your needs and wishes.
