During our estate planning consultation, Attorney Meredith Silva will discuss your family's unique financial and personal situation and develop the best estate plan for you. A will is a document typically discussed when creating or updating an estate plan. A will acts as a guideline of your wishes for what should happen to your assets and other belongings upon your passing. During your estate planning consultation with Silva Law, we will discuss whether a will is a sufficient mechanism to protect and pass down your legacy to your loved ones or whether we would recommend a trust, which can provide additional protections and benefits. Below are some of the benefits of having a will.
If you have a will, upon your passing, your estate must still go through the probate process. Having a will does not sidestep the probate process. Too many times, people that decide to try to draft their own wills do so improperly resulting in their assets not being distributed according to their wishes and also resulting in unnecessary litigation in the probate process costing thousands more than it would have cost to hire a legal professional to draft their will. A properly drafted will by a legal professional that specializes in estate planning will ensure that your assets are passed to your loved ones in a manner consistent with your wishes. At Silva Law, we will ask the right questions to make sure your estate is protected, that you take advantage of all tax benefits and protections available and that you are aware of all of your planning options.
