The statistics remain constant: 70% of the population does not have a current Estate Plan. Among those with a net worth over $10 million, 37% haven’t even done a Will.
To state what we all know but don’t like to admit, few of us get any advance warning. We would like to believe the myth, that we always have more time. The truth: we can enjoy the best life brings, but we have to plan for the unexpected. The irony is that doing the latter increases the former.
There are lots of reasons we all tend to procrastinate, but among them is finding a lawyer you want to talk to about such sensitive issues. We understand that. That is why our clients come our way: they find out we will help them find the peace of mind that comes from setting everything in order.
Doing so in light of the legacy you want to leave, the children and family you must care for, the tax and legal hoops you can avoid–what seems daunting at first comes to be one of the most meaningful things you will ever do. We can help you get that done. Maybe you need a simple will, trusts to avoid probate, strategies to maximize taxes, even sophisticated planning. Whatever it is, Robinson Payne can promise you will receive the guidance you need to tailor what is just right for you.
