Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Estate Planning & Trusts
Do I need a trust or is a will enough?
It depends on your situation. Probate can be time-consuming and expensive for larger estates. A revocable living trust avoids probate entirely, provides for incapacity, and offers more control over distributions. Your attorney will help you determine which approach makes sense based on your assets, family situation, and goals.
How often should I update my estate plan?
Review your estate plan every 3-5 years or after major life events like marriage, divorce, birth of children, significant asset changes, or moving to a new state. Changes in state law can also impact your plan — your attorney monitors relevant developments.
What happens if I become incapacitated without powers of attorney?
Without proper documents, your family would need to petition the court for a conservatorship or guardianship — an expensive, public, and time-consuming process that can take months. A properly drafted power of attorney avoids this entirely.
How much does estate planning cost?
Costs depend on the complexity of your situation. A basic will package is typically less expensive than a comprehensive trust-based plan. Your attorney provides transparent, flat-fee pricing so you know the cost before you begin. Contact our office to discuss your specific needs.
