ESTATE PLANNING

LAST WILL & TESTAMENT

          A will, also known as "Last Will and Testament", is a legal document that sets forth your wishes for the distribution of your property and the care of any minor children. We recommend having a will made as this ensures that your property is distributed to whom you wish to have it.

          If you would like a Will made, please pick up a copy of the Will worksheet from our office. If you have any concerns while filling it out, give our office a call and we would be happy to answer any questions you may have. Once you've returned the worksheet, we will draft your Will based on the information given to us, if we have any questions we will contact you. Once the Will is completed we will have you review it; if everything is how you wish to leave your estate, we will schedule a time for you to come in for the execution ceremony where we provide two witnesses and a notary.

          You will be given the original documents as well as copies of each, we recommend keeping the originals all together and informing your executors where they will be kept.
