You may have read elsewhere on this site about the value of a financial plan. With a little planning, a little sacrifice and a lot of hard work it is very possible to accumulate wealth in Indiana. When you do, take care of it. Plan for all of the days you are here and plan for the day when you are not.

An estate plan really does help take care of your money while you are here. It also gives you peace of mind knowing your loved ones are taken care of when your time does come. Would you rather have your assets pass on quickly, inexpensively and in the way you had desired, or have your heirs involved in a long, contested, expensive probate court? This choice is yours to make, but only while you are alive.

Your first matter of business, of course, is a will. Intestate means dying without a will, nobody wants to be intestate. What you decide to put into that will should be decided by you and your estate planning attorney. It is possible to have a will with nothing in it, maybe the best kind. Assets that are in a living trust do not need to be in a will and should, in most cases, avoid probate court. A living trust is just one of many estate planning tools to talk over with your attorney.

Taxes and guardianship of children are also important issues that are best dealt with by an estate planning attorney. Have you done everything possible to minimize the estate tax that could be levied upon your heirs? Has everything possible been done to care for any minor children?

It should be easy to find estate attorneys all over Indiana, even in Fort Wayne and Indianapolis. While we recommend the use of Legal Match to find a qualified attorney near you, a recommendation from a friend might be just as good. Always start with an initial meeting to get to know each other, go over fees and see if you feel comfortable with this person.

Working with your finances in this manner may require many different forms. If you need one fast Legal Zoom is just a click away. Remember to always have your legal documents looked at by your Indiana estate planning attorney.

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!
