ESTATE PLANNING ATTORNEYS HELP YOU SECURE YOUR FUTURE
WHO NEEDS AN ESTATE PLAN?
Although it can be intimidating and emotional to think about end-of-life topics and the lives of your loved ones after you’re gone, almost every adult can benefit from having an estate plan in place. At Mason Law and Planning Group, we want you to know that estate planning can actually make thinking about these things less unsettling and more comforting. This is because estate planning gives you an opportunity to control the future of your assets and protect the ones you love. If you own a business, have children, are married, or own any assets whatsoever, it’s important to have a plan in place that outlines your wishes on how these things should be cared for in the future. This holds true regardless of your age or financial situation.
The estate planning lawyers at Mason Law and Planning Group provide personalized, compassionate, and informed guidance to individuals and families who need help arranging their estate.

Why should you consider creating an estate plan?
-> Preserve your assets: An estate plan allows you to determine how your assets will be distributed after your passing, ensuring that your loved ones receive their rightful inheritances.
-> Minimize taxes: Proper estate planning can help minimize the tax burden on your estate, allowing more of your assets to go to your beneficiaries.
-> Protect your family: By designating guardians for minor children, you can ensure that they will be cared for by someone you trust in the event of your untimely passing.
-> Avoid probate: A well-crafted estate plan can help your loved ones avoid the lengthy and costly probate process, allowing for a smoother transition of your assets.
-> Plan for incapacity: A thorough estate plan can include documents such as a durable power of attorney and healthcare directives, which designate someone to make financial and medical decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT DOCUMENTS ARE INCLUDED IN AN ESTATE PLAN?
An estate plan typically includes a will, living trust, power of attorney, and healthcare directive. These documents outline your wishes regarding the distribution of your assets, the appointment of guardians for minor children, and the management of your financial and healthcare matters in the event of incapacity.
IS ESTATE PLANNING ONLY FOR THE WEALTHY?
No, estate planning is not only for the wealthy. It is important for individuals of all income levels to have an estate plan in place. Even if you don’t have significant assets, an estate plan can still ensure that your wishes are carried out and your loved ones are protected.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I DIE WITHOUT AN ESTATE PLAN?
If you die without an estate plan, your assets will be distributed according to the laws of your state through a process called intestate succession. This may not align with your wishes and can lead to disputes among family members. Having an estate plan in place ensures that your assets are distributed according to your wishes.

ESTATE PLANNING ENSURES YOUR ASSETS BENEFIT YOUR LOVED ONES
Crafting an estate plan isn’t just about distributing and protecting your assets. Estate plans go much further than that. They give you a way to positively contribute to the lives and wealth of your family across multiple generations. By having a carefully crafted estate plan, you are ensuring that your legacy will continue to benefit your loved ones, their children, and other future generations. You are establishing a foundation upon which your family can build over time.
Through wills, trusts, and other tools, Mason Law and Planning Group can help you create an estate plan that ensures your belongings (and not your debts) go to the appropriate beneficiaries. Depending on your needs, an estate plan can resolve debts and take care of creditors. It can arrange guardianships for any dependents, as well as name a personal representative to administer your estate. An estate plan can also give you a way to assist your family with probate or enable them to essentially bypass it altogether. This is particularly important, considering probate can often lead to tension and division between family members.
