WILL AND ESTATE PLANNING
Will planning is vital for the distribution of your estate in a way that reflects your intentions and wishes. For individuals who pass away without a will, the law will determine how their estate is distributed. Additionally, it makes sense to take advantage of numerous opportunities to minimize and even prevent fees and taxes upon death through careful will planning. At Lak Law Firm, our focus will be on working with you to create a comprehensive Will and Estate Plan.
Aside from the evident financial benefits, having a plan in place puts you in control of your future. By working with us, you can carefully decide the future of your assets and be confident that your wishes will be carried out. You will have peace of mind, knowing that your beneficiaries enjoy a more secure future.
With proper planning you can make sure that the people and causes you care about will be looked after. You can minimize or defer taxes payable at death, reduce probate fees, establish jointly owned properties and bank accounts, and establish trusts to reserve your family properties.
