An experienced Omaha estate-planning lawyer can provide you with a number of ideas to address these real family challenges and design an estate plan to assist you with asset protection and help ensure your assets are distributed properly.
Components of Estate Planning
Your estate plan will include at least one of the following. It will likely include more than one and can potentially include them all:
- Wills – This is the legally binding document that outlines who will receive each of your assets. Your beneficiaries do not have to be your relatives – you can leave assets to a charitable organization or an institution, such as your alma mater.
- Power of Attorney – You can grant power of attorney, the right to make medical, financial, and personal decisions on your behalf, to a loved one you trust to act in your best interest when you cannot make decisions for yourself.
- Living Trusts – With a trust, another party holds the legal title to a piece of your property, then transfers it to a beneficiary after you pass.
Family Estate Planning
Estate planning with Forgét Law Group includes not only will and trust documents, but also the tools necessary for trusted family or friends to step up and make critical financial or medical decisions. There are many reasons for people of all ages to have a Durable Power of Attorney for Financial Affairs, a Power of Attorney for Health Care, and a Living Will. Without these necessary tools an estate plan may be left with gaps in time where friends and family are unable to act. An Omaha estate-planning attorney from will help you make sure that you are well prepared for these situations.
