ESTATE PLANNING TIMELINE

When Do You Need an Estate Plan or Package?

It’s never too early to get an estate plan in place. No matter your stage in life, it’s important to ensure that your care and finances will be handled appropriately, and that your family is set up in a good position should the unforeseen happen.

Marriage

Consider creating a will, trust, or an incapacity plan to protect your assets and ensure end-of-life care is clear and spelled out.

Children

Having a family is the perfect time to update your estate plan to ensure assets are passed down and legal guardianship is clear.

Start a Business

A trust or business succession plan can help make it easier to control your business, tax planning and privacy purposes.

Asset Accumulation

As you accumulate assets in your lifetime, it may be necessary to set up a trust to avoid probate and make sure your assets are protected.

Divorce / Remarriage

A divorce or remarriage is the perfect time to change power of attorney, update estate plans and incapacity plans.

Retirement

This milestone is a good time to make sure your estate plan is up to date—and to prepare for the years ahead.

The Elder Years

As you get older, it’s important to continue to make sure affairs are in order, and your estate plans and incapacity plans are up to date.

What Our Clients Say

Very willing to help explain the process of setting up a trust and take the time to help you understand. Very friendly and enjoyable team to work with.

Dave D.
Serving in a profession that handles end-of-life care, I always realized the importance of estate planning. However, I personally always put my personal planning on the “back burner.” After acquiring a business, I found myself in a position with many unanswered questions. Working on the day-to-day operations, I was concerned about my inability to work……

Clinton
Atty. Collins went above and beyond in his handling of my estate when a previous attorney couldn’t or wouldn’t resolve the issues. I could not recommend him and his staff more highly. They did much to restore my faith in the kindness of people.
