Though the idea of estate planning can be daunting, it is an important step that needs to be taken in order to ensure that all that you have worked for throughout your life is managed in a way that reflects your values and wishes. Estate planning is not just about what happens after you die: it can also make sure that your wishes are carried out while you are still living but become unable to speak for yourself. A well-crafted estate plan can protect your heirs, prevent undue taxation of your assets, and address other essential life changes and events. For estate planning in South Jersey, the knowledgeable attorneys at Cohen, Fineman LLC will tell you what you need to know and guide you through all of the necessary steps.
Estate planning is appropriate for every stage of life. Whether you’re young and unmarried, middle-aged with children, or older and concerned about dementia, the more plans that you have put in place the more protected you are and the easier you make things for your family if decisions need to be made without your input. Though it might be nice to think that your loved ones would be able to work things out without you, the truth is that if you die without a will or other plans in place, you give up all control of who receives your property, and the state of New Jersey’s rules may not reflect your actual wishes. By having an estate plan in place, you can preserve the maximum amount of your wealth and distribute it in the way that meets your personal objectives.
