Without an estate plan in place, state law determines what happens to your financial affairs, your minor children and your health care, should you become unable to make these decisions. Susan, the strategic estate planning attorney at The Eleff Law Group helps clients exercise control over their health, their estates and their legacies.
Your estate plan may consist of a simple will to direct how your assets will be distributed after your passing. Your plan may also include a grantor or living trust to avoid or minimize probate and allow you control over the terms of distribution. If you have a high net worth estate, Susan Eleff may suggest various forms of asset protection or a family limited partnership.
Estate Planning Is For Everyone At All Stages Of Life
For Singles
Being single does not mean you would not benefit from estate planning. In fact, it is imperative you establish a strong foundation for asset protection and have solid plans in place for when you may not be able to independently make financial or medical decisions.
For Minor Children
Becoming a parent is one of the most joyous occasions in your life. Part of being a responsible parent is ensuring your children are taken care of if something happens to you. This includes selecting a guardian and safeguarding assets.
For Married Couples
Marriage is an important chapter in your life, and your commitment to another person should carry through to your estate planning. Your estate plans should protect your spouse and any current or future children you may have.
During Top Earning Years
