Estate Planning for Gen X

We are all grown up now.  Many of us are married.  Many have kids graduating from high school, some are just starting our families.  Most of us have real jobs, retirement plans, life insurance, and own our home.  Yet many of us have not started estate planning?

Many of us don’t want to think about something happening, but it does. The best time to do your estate planning is now.  Before something sudden and unexpected happens.

With the proper planning, you can name someone to help you with your finances and make health care decisions for you should you become sick or injured and not able to make decisions for yourself.  In your estate plan you can also choose who becomes the guardian of your children if you die unexpectedly. 

Through beneficiary designations or a carefully crafted trust, you can avoid probate.  If you don’t make your own plan, the courts will make the decisions for you.

You have worked hard for what you have. Working with an experienced estate planning attorney, you can protect your loved ones and your assets.
