What Services Do Glastonbury Estate Planning Attorneys Provide?

January 18, 2018 by Jeffrey A. Nirenstein, Estate Planning Attorney

Glastonbury estate planning attorneys do far more than you might imagine to help you prepare for a secure future for yourself and for your loved ones. Many people assume that estate planning attorneys only help with the creation of a last will and testament, but this is not the case. An estate planning lawyer can help you to make many important decisions and to take many important steps to protect yourself and your loved ones. glastonbury estate planning attorneys

Nirenstein, Horowitz & Associates will personalize the services that we offer to you so you can get the help and support you need to accomplish your goals for the future.

You should give us a call to find out specifically about how our legal team can help you to protect yourself, your assets, and your loved ones. You can also read on to find out more about the specific services that we can provide to you as you look forward into the future.

Estate Planning Attorneys Help You Protect Assets

An estate planning lawyer can help you to identify some of the possible sources of loss that you face such as high nursing home care costs towards the end of your life; mismanagement of your assets in case you become incapacitated or after you pass on; expensive nursing home care that is not covered by insurance;  high estate tax; and irresponsible heirs. Your attorney can then help you to use tools like trusts to minimize these risks and ensure your wealth is kept safe and able to be passed on to the next generation.

Estate Planning Attorneys Help You to Make Plans to Protect Your Children

If you have children, an estate planning lawyer can provide assistance in making the right plans for their care if something happens to you and you cannot raise them to adulthood. You should name a guardian for your kids in case neither parent can raise them so the court does not have to decide who will care for them and so they don’t end up in the middle of a custody dispute. Making plans for their financial support in case you pass away is also important.

Estate Planning Attorneys Help You Plan for Incapacity

If you get sick or are hurt badly and emergency decisions need to be made on the provision of extraordinary medical care, both you and your loved ones will be in a better position if you have an incapacity plan in place.

An estate planning lawyer can help you to use advanced directives to specify preferences on healthcare and to use tools like a power of attorney to put someone in charge of making your decisions and managing your assets. An experienced attorney can also help you to prepare to get nursing home care costs paid for if you experience an incapacitating illness or injury that means you can’t live alone any more.

Estate Planning Attorneys Help You to Leave Your Desired Legacy

An estate planning lawyer can assist you in making use of the best and most efficient methods of transferring your wealth to heirs or beneficiaries after you are gone. An attorney can help you to take the needs of heirs or beneficiaries into account, such as making sure you are providing an inheritance that is structured in an appropriate way for disabled heirs or for children who will be under the age of 18 at the time when they inherit.

With help from an experienced attorney, you can use tools like a last will and testament, different types of trusts, pay-on-death accounts, and joint ownership of assets to effectively and efficiently transfer money on to those who you wish to provide for after you are gone.

Glastonbury estate planning attorneys at Nirenstein, Horowitz & Associates can provide you with all of these services and many more. Our legal team helps people at all life stages, with all income levels and all different types of family circumstances.
