The most important gift you can give to your family is to make sure you have the necessary documents in place in the event that you are incapacitated or pass away. This is important for everyone, however for families with minor children, it is a necessity. Estate planning allows you to make the decisions for you and your loved ones, rather than allowing them to be made by strangers. Through planning you can cover areas such as child protection, asset transfer, estate/gift tax planning, asset protection, business succession/exit planning and healthcare options. Due to the nature of this work and the need for you to have ongoing contact with your attorney and our staff, a flat fee will be agreed to in advance that will cover all of the work on your plan, including drafting and execution of the documents, answering questions and making revisions within 90 days of the plan execution, and an ongoing review of your plan at least every three years at no additional charge.
In the event of a death or incapacity in your family, we are available to guide and represent you through the guardianship or probate proceeding. As this is a difficult and emotional event, we are here to support you and to make the administrative requirements less of a burden.
PROTECTING YOUR LOVED ONES WHEN IT MATTERS MOST
Estate planning is not about documents. It is about people. At the Gale Legal Group PLLC, we seek to create a full-service and ongoing relationship with our clients. We know that your needs and the needs of your family are changing as your life changes. Whether you are starting your first job, buying your first home, raising a family, or planning for retirement, your needs will be different. In addition to providing the planning documents unique to your situation now, we will continue to review and update the documents. We want to make sure that these documents are in place and are relevant to meet the needs of your loved ones, when they need it the most.
