Estate Planning Services
Estate planning can help you share your financial success for generations. The attorneys at Reppe Law help you make difficult end-of-life decisions, even for our clients who are just starting to accumulate wealth. However, taking the time to make sure your wishes are carried out provides peace of mind and security for your loved ones.
We help you thoroughly understand the process and your options, so you feel empowered to make good decisions. We use the following documents in the estate planning process:
Last Will and Testament
Wills are written instruments signed and formally witnessed by two people. A will names the people and organizations who inherit your property and assets after your death. The will also names an executor or representative to carry out the instructions and appoints any guardians for minor children.
Living Will or Advanced Directive
These written instruments instruct doctors and hospitals if you fall into a persistent vegetative state, otherwise known as a coma. It also provides specific details about your wishes regarding medical care should you become unable to give informed consent in the future.
Healthcare Proxy
Also known as a durable power of attorney for healthcare, this document appoints a trustee to make health decisions on your behalf should you become incapacitated.
Living Trust
This mechanism allows you to place your property in a trust while alive. It remains in effect even if you fall into a coma or die. Trusts can be revoked or altered during your lifetime, and they are helpful in annual tax planning. Creating a living trust can help your heirs avoid a lengthy probate process upon death.
End-of-life discussions may be difficult at any point in life. The estate planning lawyers at Reppe Law Office PLLC provide reassurance that you are doing the right thing. We ensure it is done right so your heirs don’t have to face legal problems at a difficult time.
