What Is Estate Planning?
Estate planning is the process of organizing your assets and financial affairs to prepare for the future. It includes creating a will to specify how your assets will be distributed after your death, as well as trusts to manage your assets during your lifetime.
Estate planning also includes long-term care planning, which helps you prepare for the high costs of long-term care and make decisions about where you would like to receive care.
What Is Probate?
Probate is the legal process that is used to distribute the assets of an individual after they die. The executor of the estate is responsible for collecting the assets, paying any debts, and distributing the remaining assets to the beneficiaries. The executor is appointed by the will or appointed by the court if there is no will.
The probate process can take several months to complete, and it can be costly. The Feldman Law Group can help you avoid probate by creating a will that names an executor to distribute your assets after your death, or by setting up a living trust to manage your assets during your lifetime. The living trust avoids probate after your death.
What Is Long-Term Care Planning?
Long-term care is any type of health care or supportive care that is provided to an individual for more than 90 days. Long-term care can be provided at home, in an assisted living facility, in a nursing home, or in a specialized facility such as a rehabilitation center.
Long-term care is very expensive, and it can quickly drain your assets and deplete your retirement savings. The Feldman Law Group can help you prepare for the high costs of long-term care by creating a long-term care plan that helps you protect your assets, select the best care options, and make informed decisions about where you would like to receive care.
