⚖️ Ready to Hear What Happens WITH Estate Planning? It's Much Better!

August 11, 2022

🤯 Did you get a chance to read about 10 Things That Could Happen Without Estate Planning last month from Althaus Law? 



It was a real eye-opener about how much can go wrong when you don't have your family covered with Estate Planning!

This month, Jeff Althaus shares what will happen if you DO have Estate Planning in place, and it's a much less stressful list!

  1. You avoid court and probate, woohoo!
  2. Your family avoids unnecessary fights.
  3. You decide and outline where you want your precious items to go.
  4. The state does not get to decide where any of your property ends up.
  5. Children can avoid court if they are set to inherit property or money.
  6. Guardianships can be put in place to avoid foster care for your kids.
  7. Special needs individuals can inherit properly without being disqualified from Medicaid and other government benefits.
  8. You can give guidance for final arrangements to make that process easier for loved ones
  9. You can make sure any businesses go to a business partner or your family without going through court.
  10. You get to appoint your financial and medical power of attorney if you become incapacitated. (If you don't do this your family will have to go to court and have a judge appoint a lawyer who charges a lot and doesn't know what you would have wanted or appoints someone that you would not have wanted.)
  11. PEACE OF MIND!

Phew, that list really takes a lot of pressure off, doesn't it?
