Estate Planning

A last will and testament is a probate document that directs the transfer of your property upon your death. It can also be used to appoint individuals to care for your children as guardians, create a trust for your kids, and address a number of other matters that may be triggered by your death.

A trust is an advanced end-of-life tool that gives a person more control over the transfer of their assets and allows him or her to keep such transactions private, often times allowing the estate to avoid the public court process. Unlike a person, a trust agreement does not die and, therefore, never ends up in probate.

Having a family member or loved one pass away is always difficult. What compounds the trouble is having to get their affairs in order - finding assets, settling with creditors, paying bills, and closing accounts. Remove the burden of estate administration and call Ahler & Robbins today to get help opening an estate and handling the probate process.
