Estate Planning

No one likes to think about their own mortality.  Folks often come in to my office to talk about planning their estate after the death of a loved one, the birth of a child, or a medical diagnosis.   I have yet to meet the prospective client who says “Hey, it was a beautiful sunny day, so I thought my spouse and I should come and sit in the conference room of a person I don’t know and talk about what happens to my stuff when I die.”

Rain or shine, EVERYONE needs to make an appointment with a qualified attorney to discuss an estate plan.  Preparing a will that identifies the beneficiaries of your estate, the guardians of you children and executors of your estate will ensure that you determine who handles your affairs upon your death and how your estate is distributed.  Appropriate estate planning also includes “life” planning through powers of attorney, health care proxies, and other documents that enable a person of your choosing to act for you in the event of your incapacity

A proper estate plan provides peace of mind that your family will avoid unnecessary complications, delay, expense, and grief during an emotional transition. Contact the Law Office of Mark Maltsberger to receive an information packet and schedule an appointment for a free consultation.
