Wills, Trusts, and Estates: Wills

Augustyn Law Office can help you with your estate planning needs. There are many ways in which we can help you choose the way in which you protect your family. Without proper planning, the state decides who makes important decisions for you as well as how your assets are distributed. Augustyn Law Office can help you make these important decisions yourself.

The Augustyn Law Office can help you make sure that your assets are properly transferred upon death. The most common way to do this is with a will.

A Will directs the distribution of your assets upon death. Without a will the state decides who receives your assets. We can help make sure everything occurs as you wish it to. A will, also called a "Last Will and Testament" is a legal document with specific instructions for the distribution of your assets. This tells how you want your property given to your loved ones. You name a personal representative to make sure your wishes are carried out. You can name a person to care for minor children and make sure your property is properly used to benefit them. You are able to give specific gifts to certain people.

A Trust may also be an important part of your planning as a trust protects assets from going through probate. This means trust assets are transferred immediately upon death rather than going through the process of a court potentially interpreting the will. At Augustyn Law Office, we recommend a will and a trust to make sure things are as easy as possible for your loved ones after your death.
