What is Estate Law?
Estate Law is an umbrella term that encompasses an assortment of legal services that dictate how your property, money, health, and family will be treated and distributed at death or in case of incapacity or disability.
Why is Estate Law Necessary for Every Individual?
While we all wish to live forever, the reality is that we cannot defeat Father Time. Similarly, it is also true that we are unable to predict our future, including our future financial security and health. As our future remains uncertain, what we do in the present can and will prepare ourselves and our families for life’s unexpected twists and turns. It is precisely the most challenging times in an individual’s and family’s life when proper estate planning will help assuage the burdens and difficulties that accompany death, disability, or incapacity.
Why is Estate Planning Necessary for Every Individual?
The operative word throughout the area of estate law is “planning.” Proper and careful estate planning not only puts you in charge of your finances, health, and future, but it will also spare your loved ones the expense, delay, and frustration associated with handling your health and estate when you pass away or become disabled or incapacitated. At Puff, Sierzega & MacFeeters, our attorneys represent clients of all economic standing, from high-net-worth individuals to modest and simple estates.
