The Importance of Estate Planning
Protecting Your Family and Assets
Effective estate planning ensures your minor children, loved ones, and beneficiaries are cared for according to your wishes. It also protects your property and financial holdings from unnecessary taxes and legal disputes. By working with a board-certified estate planning attorney, you can:
Avoid lengthy probate processes.
Minimize estate taxes and liabilities.
Ensure seamless ownership transfer of family businesses.
Protect your assets from litigation and creditors.
We take pride in guiding our Clients to protect their families and assets
Estate planning ensures that your wishes are carried out after you die. A will or trust can dictate who will inherit your property and how your estate will be managed. This can provide a peace of mind in knowing that your loved ones will be taken care of after you're gone. Without a will or trust, the courts will decide who gets your property and how it is distributed. This can lead to costly and time-consuming litigation, which no one wants to deal with during a difficult time. The estate planning services of Masterly Legal Solutions can help avoid all of that.
Why You Need the Right Attorney
Finding the right attorney is essential to crafting a plan that meets your specific needs. While many attorneys offer estate planning services, not all have the expertise to handle complex estates, navigate tax laws, or provide tailored solutions. Our experienced team of estate attorneys will guide you through every step of the process, ensuring no detail is overlooked.
Phases in Masterly Legal Solutions
Estate Planning
01
Initial Consultation
Masterly Legal Solutions provides free consultations to get an idea of what our Clients need to provide them a peace of mind and put together their estate plan in order.
02
Strategic Planning Meeting
In the strategic planning phase, we meet with our Clients to map-out their estate, identification of beneficiaries, and the essentials for meeting the overall goals.
03
Drafting Phase
We will begin the drafting of the documents based on the Client's overall goals and wishes. Drafts generally take about six to eight weeks depending on the circumstances but we have a rush option for those that need the estate planning documents sooner. During this phase, the Client will have the opportunity to discuss any changes or amendments prior to the documents being finalized.
04
Signing Ceremony
The signing ceremony is the most critical stage of the estate planning process to avoid them from being invalidated in the future by the court. At the signing ceremony the Client will sign the documents in the presence of the required two witnesses and the notary.
