Each situation is unique and comprehensive estate planning is essential to ensure that your assets are protected and your wishes are honored after you’re gone. I will carefully evaluate your goals and needs to ensure that they are accomplished. I am dedicated to helping you create the will and/or trust that best serves your intentions while ensuring that the entire process is as straightforward and headache free as possible.

Q
Why Do You Need an Estate Plan?
If you have not executed a will or a trust at the time of your passing that describes how you want your assets distributed, then you are said to have died intestate and the distribution of your belongings is subject to the intestacy laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Without an estate plan, your property and assets may be subject to unwanted fees and taxes. Your house and other belongings may even end up in the hands of unintended beneficiaries or the government. A properly drafted estate plan gives you the option to have your assets distributed to whomever you choose, and can even help protect your property after you are gone.
Q
When is the Best Time to Plan Your Estate?
The short answer is now. Whether you’re young or old, you have an extravagant collection of valuable property and assets or you’ve lived the simple life, there is no time like the present to create your estate plan. I will guide you through the whole process of planning your estate to ensure that minor children are cared for by guardians of your choosing, that family heirlooms and sentimental property are passed on to those intended, and that property is protected from the taxes, fees and other costs associated with dying intestate.
