Need an Estate Lawyer?

In Virginia Beach, Richmond and Roanoke estate and probate laws are the same.

Most estate planning involves your personal assets and how to best prepare to pass them on when you die. Children are an exception to this, we all know you don't have to have money to have children, although it would be nice. If you have children you should also have a will that assigns a guardian for them should something happen to you and your spouse. Don't just assume the judge is going to make the right decision for you.

As your assets grow so should the need for more estate planning. It is far easier for your heirs to receive their inheritance outside of the probate court and financial planning can make it happen. Your attorney may suggest some of these probate avoiding vehicles to you. Payable on death bank account, joint tenancy with tight of survivorship deeds and the many ways IRA's, retirement plans and trusts can be used. Passing your estate on to the family you love should be as fast and inexpensive for them as you can make it.

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!
