Many people do not realize that if they pass away with small children and do not have an effective estate plan, it is possible that their children will be subject to ongoing intrusive and costly court proceedings throughout their entire childhood. An effective estate plan will help avoid this.

Also, if a client becomes incapacitated during their life and is unable to manage their own assets, many times they too will get caught up in costly court proceedings that last for years. Often the Court will appoint a perfect stranger to manage all of their assets and make intimate decisions affecting their lives.

These court proceedings are largely unnecessary. We work hard for our clients to ensure that they avoid costly and intrusive court proceedings for their children or themselves. Our primary goal is to structure your estate so as to avoid the cost and publicity of future court proceedings and ensure that your most cherished personal preferences are carried out.
