ESTATE PLANNING
Whether you marry or divorce, the change in your marital status will have
significant impact on how your estate will be settled in the event of your
death.
If you are getting married, we recommend that you talk with an attorney
experienced in the drafting of wills and trusts. Estate planning can be
very complicated and it is not something we recommend be ignored or done by
lay people or software designers.
"Do-It-Yourself" will packages are
intended to be "one-size-fits-all". Your situation is unique. You
owe it to your family and friends to make sure this is done right.
By the same token, if you are getting divorced, your marital status is
changing again and it is important that you talk about your situation with an
experienced attorney knowledgeable about wills, trusts and estate planning
options.
