Probate and Estate Planning

Are you concerned about what will happen to your loved ones and assets after you pass away? Devising an estate plan with the help of an experienced Cape Coral probate attorney may ensure that your loved ones and estate are properly cared for after you perish. Estate plans consist of many important documents, such as a will, health care advance directives, a living will, and powers of attorney. Without an estate plan, your assets and properties may be given to people who you did not wish to receive such items, and your financial/medical wishes may be ignored if you become incapacitated.

Wills allow a person to state which of their assets will go to whom after they pass away, as well as elect an executor to manage their estate, and designate a guardian for minor children. Powers of attorney and health care advance directives state a person’s wishes in regards to medical and/or financial decisions, and allow a person to choose an agent to make said choices on their behalf. A living will involves a person’s choices regarding life-sustaining treatment options in the event that they have a life-threatening illness or injury, and cannot voice certain medical opinions. To create an estate plan, please contact the Cape Coral probate attorney at Lindsay & Allen.
