wills, trusts & estates
Your family’s financial security is important, let us help you plan for the future.
wills
The first part of any plans for you and your family is a Will. Everyone should have a Will. Your Will ensures that your wishes are fulfilled. With the help of an experienced Will attorney, you can be confident your wishes will be honored and your assets will be distributed to your heirs you have directed.
If you die without a Will, state law through its court system determines who gets your assets. The needs and desires of your family may not be a part of the court’s considerations in deciding who gets what. A Will can prevent this from happening and make certain your assets are distributed according to your wishes.
There is no single solution or format to a Will. A properly drawn Will depends on your specific wishes, circumstances, problems and opportunities.
EVERYONE SHOULD PLAN AHEAD!
Estate planning allows you, while you are still living, to decide where your possessions go, and who they go to. Estate planning also includes assigning power of attorney, for managing property and making healthcare decisions, and a will for managing your property after death. A living trust can also be planned to help you avoid probate and to manage your estate during your life and after your gone.
Estate planning can help give you peace of mind. Vardaman Law Firm can help you build the best plan for you and your family. Your estate plan indicates how you want your assets to be managed during your life and after your death.
Who will speak for you when you cannot speak for yourself? Perhaps you are responsible for a minor child. Or you feel blessed to be surrounded by a loving family and wish to express your gratitude. Or you have concerns about the type and quality of medical care you would like to receive if you become seriously ill.
