Estate Planning / Wills
Our firm handles Estate Planning matters which is the area of law dealing with the distribution of an individual’s property at his or her death, using wills, taxes, insurance, property and trusts so as to gain maximum benefit of all laws and, at the same time, carrying out the person’s wishes.
Providing Trusted Legal Representation
Estate Planning is the preparation for the distribution and management of a person’s estate at death through the use of wills, trusts, insurance policies, and other arrangements, especially to reduce estate-tax liability.
Estate planning and probate administration are linked together, but they do have their differences.
In estate planning, individuals and/or businesses map out where and what they want to happen to themselves, their legal property, and their assets. Specifically we can draft wills and trusts (revocable and irrevocable).
Probate administration occurs after death. An individuals’ will is put into effect and orderly distribution of assets occurs. This is the phase when inheritance tax is paid and where will contest may occur.
At Kaba Law Group, P.L.L.C., we understand the complexities that go into estate planning and probate administration. We help our clients understand what they need to do in order to protect what they have worked so hard for. We will litigate matters if necessary to ensure that our clients wishes are carried out.
While you’re living and healthy, you value being able to make your own decisions about your finances, property, health care, and raising your children. Should you die or become incapacitated, you hope others will handle these matters for you according to your wishes.
The only way to assure that will happen is through estate planning. This process involves weighing various personal and financial decisions and creating legal arrangements to carry out those decisions.
Good estate planning is more than just a simple Will. It minimizes potential taxes and fees (including Federal and State gift and estate taxes), and sets up contingency planning to make sure wishes regarding health care treatment are followed before and after death. A good estate plan also coordinates what happens to a home, investments, business, life insurance, employee benefits (such as a 401K plan) and other property in the event of disability or death.
