FAQs
How long does the estate planning process take?
The duration of an estate planning process can vary based how motivated you are in completing the information worksheet and then reviewing the drafted documents. In general, my goal after receiving a signed engagement letter (contract) and a deposit, is to send you a first draft of documents within 7 to 10 days.
What are the advantages of mediation over a traditional court-based divorce?
Mediation offers several advantages over a traditional courtroom divorce. First and foremost, it promotes amicable resolutions, reducing the emotional stress and cost associated with litigation. Mediation also allows couples to maintain greater control over the outcome, as decisions are reached collaboratively rather than imposed by a judge. Additionally, mediation tends to be quicker, making it a more time-efficient option. It's worth noting that mediation is not suitable for all cases, particularly those involving domestic violence or situations where one party is uncooperative. Our legal team can assess your circumstances and help you determine if mediation is a viable and beneficial option.
What should I consider when creating an estate plan for my family?
When crafting an estate plan to secure your family's future, several key factors should be taken into account. First, you'll want to identify your assets and determine how you want them distributed among your loved ones. Creating a will and trust can help facilitate this process. Next, consider appointing a guardian for minor children if necessary. Review and update your plan regularly to ensure it reflects your current circumstances and wishes. Don't forget to designate beneficiaries for retirement accounts, life insurance policies, and other assets that pass outside of probate. Lastly, consult with an experienced estate planning attorney to ensure that your plan complies with local laws and maximizes the benefits for your family while minimizing tax liabilities.
