What is Estate Planning?

In its simplest form, estate planning outlines what you want to happen should you become incapacitated or die. It identifies who has authority to act on your behalf and what you want them to do.

Estate planning can get more complicated for high net worth individuals facing possible estate tax liability. It can also get more complicated when intended beneficiaries are minors, disabled, or unable to responsibly manage an inheritance.

Everyone 18 years or older, regardless of net worth, should have an estate plan in place. At Weinberger Law, LLC we work with a wide range of individuals and families.

A good estate plan will

Ensure that your assets pass to those you choose, in the manner you choose
Determine who will care for your children and other dependents if you’re no longer able to do so
Determine who will manage your finances and healthcare should you become incapacitated
Reduce estate administration costs
Minimize or eliminate estate taxes
