ESTATE PLANNING ATTORNEY - SPENCE STOVER

Estate planning is a critical part of preserving your estate and your legacy, especially since your assets could fall into the state’s hands should you not have a plan. A properly drafted estate plan will ensure your beneficiaries and descendants will receive what you personally intended for them through properly managing your investments and assets.

QUALIFIED ESTATE PLANNING ATTORNEY

A experienced estate planning attorney helps ensure all your assets are properly cared for. Stover Law Firm, LLC can help you:

·         Prepare a Last Will and Testament. Your personal Last Will and Testament dictates how your assets are distributed after you die. It is always a good place to nominate the guardians (back-up “parents”) of your minor children if they are orphaned due to the loss of one or both parents. This document will help your estate’s probate process go smoothly, plus protect your property, assets, and children.

·         Draft Powers of Attorney. Unlike a will or trust, powers of attorney give a specific person of your own choosing, the authority to make decisions upon your illness or incapacity.

·         Create a Trust. There are many different types of trusts, and these documents are much more involved than a will. Typically, a trust generally involves at least three parties: the trust-maker (Settlor), the trust manager (Trustee), and the trust beneficiary (or beneficiaries). A trust can help your estate avoid completely or minimize the probate process.

·         Manage Digital Assets. Digital assets you own (such as online accounts in your name, digital files, financial accounts, and more), need to be managed just like physical assets. With the help of Spence Stover, you can create a digital estate plan to give your family access to your online accounts and digital devices in the event of illness or after your death.

You might not think you need estate planning now, but planning is an important part of your life regardless of your age. By taking control now (while you are able), you ensure that your wishes regarding what matters most to you are respected and followed in the future.
