Clayton, Missouri: Wills and Trusts Lawyer
Whenever an event in your life changes the structure of your family or your finances, it is a good idea to review your estate plan - to make sure that your will and any trusts you have established still accurately reflect your wishes for the distribution of your assets in the event of your death.
If you do not have a will, trust or estate plan, you can obtain efficient, knowledgeable help from the Gantz Law Firm, located in St. Louis Missouri. Our offices are led by attorney Gregory M. Gantz, who has assisted countless clients with estate plans since 1995. For a no-cost, confidential consultation and to begin the estate planning process, please contact our offices today.
An Estate Plan Can Help Your Heirs Avoid Probate via Wills, Trusts
Many people have the misconception that a simple will is sufficient to provide for the passing of their assets to their heirs after their death. When a person dies with only a will, however, that will must go through a legal process called probate, which can be costly and time-consuming. In contrast, a comprehensive and well-designed estate plan can keep your estate out of probate entirely. Your heirs will receive their bequests in a more timely fashion, and your assets will not be depleted by the costs associated with probate court.
An estate plan can also provide for your own future and the future of your children. When we at the Gantz Law Firm develop estate plans for our clients, we make sure to ask about our clients' wishes in the event of their illness or incapacity. With tools like living wills, trusts, guardianships, conservatorships, advance health care directives and durable powers of attorney, we can make sure your health care wishes are followed if you become ill or otherwise incapacitated. A trust can also specify a guardian for your children in the event of both parents' deaths.
