Estate Planning
Work with an Estate Planning Lawyer in Gahanna, OH and Create a Personalized Plan
Everyone has assets that they have acquired throughout their lives. What will happen to your assets when you die? If you don’t have a legally valid estate plan in place, they will be distributed to your family members according to state law, which won’t likely match what you would have wanted. If you want to put your wishes into legally enforceable writing, work with an estate planning lawyer to create the documents you need.
Joel K. Elkin, Attorney at Law creates personalized estate plans for clients in the Gahanna, OH area. He can help you assess your needs, identify your assets, and create a variety of documents to accomplish your unique estate planning goals.
It’s Never Too Early to Create a Plan
Will: A will is the most common and basic estate planning document. It allows you to state your wishes regarding the distribution of your assets. It also allows you to name a legal guardian to look after your child if you die before they reach adulthood.
Living Will: A living will is a type of advance directive that allows you to state your wishes regarding future medical care if you are to become incapacitated and unable to communicate your wishes due to stroke, dementia, coma, or another illness.
Trust: A trust is a legal arrangement in which you transfer your assets to a third party, who is responsible for managing those assets and distributing them according to your wishes. Trusts allow you more control than wills because you can set certain conditions. For example, you could use a trust to have your son or daughter’s inheritance distributed to them in increments rather than as a lump sum. Find a trust lawyer that can help you with this important task.
