Things to Consider When Writing a Will
An important part of will planning is deciding on a fiduciary who will pay off your bills, take stock of remaining assets, and assist in distributing them to beneficiaries. This person will have the most important job, which is why they need to be someone you completely trust. Your attorney can also act as your fiduciary.
The following are important factors in estate planning an experienced attorney can help you with:
- Will revisions to account for new assets
- Setting aside money to pay for estate taxes, if applicable
- Setting up long-term care for a disabled beneficiary under your care
- Inserting proper language to prevent accusations of fraud
- Naming a trustee to hold assets for beneficiaries under 18
