One of the most important steps to estate planning is creating a will. Without a will, your family may deal with much more stress (and potential infighting) after you’re gone. But with the help of your Issaquah, WA wills lawyer, you’ll be able to protect your legacy, protect your assets, and make your passing a little bit easier for your loved ones. At Eastside Estate Planning, we’re ready to use our 10+ years of experience to help you. Read on to see what we can do, and contact us today to speak to an inheritance lawyer who can make a difference.
What Does A Will Lawyer Do?
As you’d expect, a will lawyer focuses primarily on helping you create a will. At Eastside Estate Planning, we do a little bit more than that. We provide will services, trusts, and even probate support. But your will is a the cornerstone to your estate planning, and if you neglect to create a will, you could be setting your family up for a difficult time when you’re no longer around.
Without a will, it’s up to the state to decide who’s in charge of dividing your assets and distributing everything to your beneficiaries. A court will usually choose a spouse or an adult child. This sounds good on the surface, but courts rarely have a full view of your family’s internal workings. For example, if you have an estranged son or daughter, or this isn’t your first marriage, there’s a chance the court may give the metaphorical keys to an ex-spouse, or even that son or daughter you’re not on good terms with.
Creating a will provides your loved ones with a roadmap. You’re able to name an executor (the person in charge of handling your estate), and you’re able to provide instructions for who gets what assets. This minimizes the risk of infighting after your death, and although your family will still have to go through probate, there’s much less drama involved when they know they can refer to your will to resolve disputes.
As your last will lawyers, our team can help you choose the right executor, include the right instructions, and steer clear of legal pitfalls that may accidentally void your will altogether. Here’s why our 10+ years of experience is a major benefit:
