Estate Planning – Your Best Options for the Worst Scenario
One of your first steps will be to hire a probate attorney to help solidify your living trust. A probate attorney can help to expedite the probate process, or, even better, make sure that your assets skip the probate process altogether.
Taking Care of your Loved Ones
You need a well-down living trust that can keep your property safe in the event you become incapacitated through some means. While many people believe that a power of attorney is sufficient, a living trust provides more protection and control. Some of the functions include:
- Avoiding Probate Proceedings
- Avoiding Adult Guardianship Proceedings
- Trusts for Minor Children
- Divorce/Estate Tax/Medicaid Protections for Spouses
- Divorce/Creditor/Bankruptcy Protection for Children via a Guardian Attorney
LGBT Protections

From your home, to your land, your car, and virtually anything else you own, it all needs to be properly handled so that it does not sit in probate for years, causing your family undue stress. It’s a lot of work, but it’s worth it.
