Estate planning is an essential part of taking care of your assets in the event of sudden or anticipated death. There are many components involved, including wills, revocable living trusts, irrevocable trusts, durable powers of attorney, and health care documents. Death is not something we may like to think about, but planning accordingly is important to ensure that your loved ones are taken care of while you still have complete control of your assets. We at Zaremba Center have helped many in Williamsburg, VA, create an estate plan and can help you too. Contact us today!
Avoid the Lengthy and Costly Probate Process
Probate is a judicial process whereby a will is “proved” in a court of law and accepted as the deceased's true testament. During this process, assets are also split to the inheritors once the will is determined to be true. Like any other court-involved procedure, this process can be lengthy and costly but can easily be avoided with an “authenticated will” through an estate planning attorney.
