Why is working with an attorney with estate law experience essential?
Although other attorneys may advertise that they can assist you with estate planning, they may need more experience to create a strategic estate plan. Due to the often confusing nature of probate law, it is always best to hire an attorney with experience developing estate plans. After you pass away, you do not want your will or living trust to be challenged or subjected to legal scrutiny. If you have minor children, you will want to ensure they are adequately provided for without concern that they could become a ward of the state until the legal issues are resolved.
When should I consider estate planning?
If you are at least 18 years of age, you can benefit from estate planning. One of the most considerable aspects of estate planning includes creating a living will that gives your healthcare power of attorney instructions regarding medical care should you become incapacitated. If you have minor children, you will need to make provisions as to who should be appointed their guardian should you pass away. If you own property, you want to ensure those assets transfer effortlessly to your beneficiaries. Finally, as you grow older, you will want to explore estate planning options that assist you with keeping your assets safe if you have to enter a long-term care facility.
How can irrevocable trusts help prevent my estate from going through probate?
Under Arizona law, an irrevocable trust can help ensure that your assets will not be subject to the probate process. Once you place assets into an irrevocable trust, they are no longer considered under your control and are instead the trust’s property. After you pass away, the trustee who manages the trust will distribute the assets placed into the trust to beneficiaries. In addition, another advantage of an irrevocable trust is that unlike a will, which becomes a public record after probate is completed, the terms of a trust remain private. Finally, placing your assets into an irrevocable trust can also help protect your assets for your family members should you need to enter a care facility.
What happens if I die and do not leave a will?
Many individuals mistakenly believe that if they die and do not leave a will, their closest family member, such as their spouse or child, will inherit their assets. However, this is only sometimes the case, and depending on the circumstances involved, your estate may be subject to the probate process. The probate process can be expensive and time-consuming, resulting in your family waiting to obtain the financial resources they need after your death. For this reason, it is in your best interest to hire an estate planning lawyer with experience creating wills and other legal documents.
What are Arizona’s legal requirements to create a living will?
A living will provide your healthcare power of attorney with written instructions regarding medical decisions that should be made on your behalf. Arizona law dictates that a living will be in writing by a person of sound mind with clear intent as to the principal’s wishes and who should be named the surrogate(s) who will make decisions on their behalf. A living will must also be dated, witnessed by at least one adult, and notarized. Even though an online form is available for individuals to compose a living will, it is always best to consult an attorney to ensure the document is legally enforceable.
Why is it essential to hire an IP protection lawyer to safeguard my intellectual property?
In today’s modern age, it is easier than ever for others to steal or infringe on another’s intellectual property. One of business owner’s greatest assets is their intellectual property. Therefore, one of the most significant benefits of hiring an IP protection lawyer is they can be proactive and work to prevent infringement before it can occur. However, if you have already experienced infringement of your intellectual property, an IP lawyer can quickly pursue legal action to resolve the issue. However, properly safeguarding your intellectual property today can save you considerable time and money in the future instead of trying to battle it out in expensive litigation.
When does a power of attorney take effect?
Depending on how the legal document is worded, a durable power of attorney can take effect immediately after signing or when you become incapacitated and can no longer speak for yourself. Whatever your preferences, it is always wise to hire an estate planning lawyer to help you understand what legal authority the power of attorney grants to your agent. For example, you may grant your financial advisor power of attorney only to buy or sell stocks or other assets. Regardless of your legal needs, an estate planning lawyer can also provide information on choosing an agent who can act on your behalf.
Do I Need to Update My Estate Plan After Moving to Arizona?
If you have recently moved to Arizona and already have an estate plan in place, it is advisable to review and possibly update your plan. Arizona’s estate planning laws may differ from those in your previous state, potentially affecting the validity and effectiveness of your existing documents. Key elements like wills, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives should be reassessed to ensure they comply with Arizona’s legal requirements. Consulting with an Arizona-based estate planning attorney from our law firm is advised. We can provide guidance specific to your situation and help you make any necessary adjustments to your estate plan, ensuring your wishes are honored and your assets are protected according to Arizona law.
