I am not Rich…Do I Need an Estate Planning Attorney?

estate-planning-attorney“Joseph McHugh, our Estate Planning Attorney is passionate about ensuring your final wishes are legally documented in a way that they will be followed upon your death. More importantly, your wishes in case of you suffer a tragic event because of illness or injury, leaving you disabled and unable to manage your life or your financial affairs.”

People do not like to envision their own death or the death of a loved one. However, this is something everyone should focus on to make sure their personal wishes are legally documented. Maybe more important, is to plan in case you become incapacitated and choosing who will make decisions about your medical situation and also someone to be authorized to handle your financial affairs. It is important to name who you wish to be the guardian of any minor children you may have and / or to set up what you wish to happen to any non-human loved ones with proper Pet Trust legal documents.

Also, as an elder law firm, we make sure all legal documents include language to protect assets in case you or a beneficiary is on public needs benefits and cannot receive an inheritance directly. Special Needs Trust language becomes very important if someone is on Medi-CAL, SSI or other pubic needs program!
