Hawaii Estate Planning Attorney

Hawaii laws pertaining to estates and probate are very specific, as are most states. Most of these laws, rules and regulations are written at the state level. So it really does not matter where you live, in Hilo, Pearl City, Honolulu or Barracks, a Hawaii estate planning attorney is the person who can best interpret this complex set of laws.

Need an Estate Lawyer?

Have you considered what would happen to your estate if you died today? Would your family members all hire separate lawyers and duke it out in probate court? With proper estate planning this does not have to happen. After you are gone is not the time to be doing it, now is a much better choice.

Are you not sure you have enough assets to make it important? The sooner you get started, and make it a habit, the easier it becomes later on when your assets do begin to accumulate. They will accumulate, won't they? If you have a financial plan, chances are very good your value will continue to grow. With every good financial plan comes the need for an estate plan.

Estate planning is more than just writing a will. A will is important and necessary, so don't neglect it. The best will I ever read went something like this, "anything left out of my trust goes to John Doe". Is that will still important? Yes, it is still important, it's just that there are better ways to pass on your estate. This is where your Hawaii estate planning attorney becomes very valuable to you.

While planning your estate you should be looking into alternatives to a will. Most of these items are also great for keeping your estate out of probate court. You need to be considering a living trust, insurance policies, Transfer on Death or Payable on Death bank accounts, joint tenancy with right of survivorship for your real estate or tenancy in common as another possibility. There is no reason to leave your estate to get hung up and fought over in probate court.

I just want to thank you for this site. It answered my questions. I think many people that do research on the net take it for granted and when they find what they are looking for they forget "someone put time, money, etc into providing me with this information."

Thank you!
