Wills allow the owner of the estate to dictate wishes for his or her property after the owner has passed. Acton & Snyder, LLP will assist you in crafting a will that will be upheld and carefully explain your desires for your estate.
A power of attorney is a legal document that empowers a family member or other person of your choosing to act and make decisions in your stead.
Trusts can be formed to allow a designated trustee to retain and manage assets in the interests of beneficiaries of an estate. These arrangements give the owner of an estate the opportunity to ensure that the assets of an estate are provided to the beneficiary on terms decided by the owner.
A proper estate plan will include planning for the protection of the estate’s value and assets. Acton & Snyder, LLP can assist you in developing a strategy to ensure that as much of your estate’s full value is passed to the intended beneficiaries as possible.
Proper estate planning can prevent the estate in question from being distributed via probate administration, in which the courts decide how the estate is to be divided.
