And that is understandable. . We appreciate the hesitation. But we also know that the best way to deal with fear is by facing it head-on.

Do I really need an estate planning attorney?
While you are not required to hire an estate planning attorney, doing so is beneficial for several reasons.. Estate plans can be complex and often time-consuming to create. A lawyer can provide legal counsel, helping you navigate this process so that it’s simple and intuitive. Finally, experienced estate planning lawyers will ensure your plan is implemented correctly and lasts for years to come. Further, it ensures assets are inherited by the individuals you want to receive your estate. Lastly, it helps avoid probate issues with family/friends in the future.
How do I appoint an executor of my estate?
An executor of an estate is responsible for carrying out a will during the probate process. You can appoint an executor in your will. If you do not name an executor before you pass away, the court state law will choose for you.
What’s better: a will or a trust?
Wills and trusts are different estate planning documents. They have different purposes, so neither item is necessarily better or worse than the other. Wills state how you want your assets divided once you’ve passed away. They can also include information about guardians.
Trusts allow you to give money to a particular person once you pass away. However, a third party, the trustee, controls the assets in a trust.
