Harrisburg Wills & Estate Planning Attorneys
A Will is perhaps the most important document you prepare. A Will outlines how your property, including money, stocks, real estate and any other assets, including any businesses, you might own, will be distributed after you pass away. By drafting a Will, you can control who receives your assets, who will be the guardian of your children, who will be responsible to invest and distribute any assets given to children or grandchildren, and who will be responsible for handling each of these important duties.
When you prepare a Will, you also will help to reduce the time and cost necessary to handle (administer) your estate. The Will addresses who pays the taxes and other expenses for the estate, and helps to reduce the disputes and ill feelings that sometimes arise among beneficiaries, especially during property distributions.
But if you die without a Will, your property will be distributed according to state law, which is called intestacy. When you die intestate, the state – not you – decides how your property is divided, and it may well be different from how you desired it to be.
If you want to be certain that your property passes to the individuals of your choosing, and that your children, grandchildren and others receive what you desire, or even if you simply want to make sure that your surviving spouse receives all of your estate, you need to have a Will.
Whether your estate is simple or complex, it is important to meet with an attorney who understands the laws and procedures involved. The estate planning attorneys at Daley Zucker can help you provide for your loved ones, minimize taxes, and plan for the future.
