On every important, often overlooked reason why estate plans are so important, is to avoid probate, or court intervention. When an individual becomes incapacitated and can no longer make decisions for themself regarding medical or financial actions, if no one is specified to do so in their will, it will be up to the court to decide upon such matters. When a person dies and leaves behind no will or trust explaining their wishes, the lengthy and costly process of probate will begin. Probate is a legal procedure to settle the affairs of an individual who has died by distributing the deceased’s property and assets to rightful beneficiaries. In situations where no beneficiaries are listed in a will or trust, it will be very difficult for the courts to decide who to distribute the assets to.
As you can see, an estate plan is a very good idea for those individuals wishing to take action now to protect their wishes later. With a skilled estate planning lawyer’s help, you are sure to come up with a highly effective plan that will thoroughly outline all your wishes, which will ensure the future needs of your loved ones are met in a timely fashion.
