Many people put off creating or updating their estate plans because they do not understand what it entails, and/or they do not want to think about death. However, most people want to ensure that their wishes regarding their health, family, and assets are taken care of in the way that they desire them to be. People often believe they can accomplish these goals by simply telling their loved ones what they want verbally. This is a common misconception. Without an estate plan, a large portion of your estate could be absorbed to pay estate taxes and probate fees, and whatever is left could be distributed by the court without regard to your wishes. 

So, what is estate planning?

Estate Planning is essentially arranging for your own care and for the eventual distribution of your assets and wealth to your loved ones. It includes selecting and empowering fiduciaries to carry out your wishes. A proper estate plan will allow your loved ones to carry out your desired health care wishes if you become incapacitated and financial wishes without the need for court proceedings or court oversight. A proper estate plan also allows you to pass your property as you desire, select guardians to care for and raise your minor children after your death, and reduce the effects of potential estate and/or inheritance taxes. Simmons Rogers, LLC can help you create a proper estate plan that makes sure your personal, financial, and medical needs will be properly taken care of during your incapacity or death. A good estate plan can give you and your loved ones peace of mind and save thousands of dollars for your spouse, children, heirs and other loved ones.
