Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need an estate plan?
Yes. Without an estate plan, state law determines who inherits your assets and who makes decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. An estate plan ensures your wishes are followed and can save your family significant time, expense, and conflict.
What's the difference between a will and a trust?
A will takes effect after death and must go through probate. A revocable living trust takes effect immediately, avoids probate, maintains privacy, and provides for management of your assets if you become incapacitated. Many comprehensive estate plans include both.
How often should I update my estate plan?
Review your estate plan every 3–5 years or after any major life event such as marriage, birth of a child, significant change in assets, relocation to a new state, or the death of a beneficiary or named fiduciary.
What happens if I die without an estate plan?
Your assets are distributed according to your state's intestacy laws, which may not match your wishes at all. The probate process is typically longer and more expensive, and the court will appoint a guardian for any minor children without your input.
How much does estate planning cost?
Costs vary based on the complexity of your estate. Simple wills may start at a few hundred dollars, while comprehensive trust-based plans typically range from $2,000–$5,000+. We provide transparent pricing during your initial consultation so there are no surprises.
What is probate and how can I avoid it?
Probate is the court-supervised process of validating a will and distributing assets. It can be time-consuming, expensive, and public. A properly funded revocable living trust, beneficiary designations, and joint ownership are common strategies to avoid probate entirely.
