An estate planning is a necessity for everyone. When you pass away, you want your assets to go where you want them to go, not where a court decides they should go. In addition to naming beneficiaries and distributing your property and belongings, an estate plan can help you make other important decisions that honor and protect the family you’ll leave behind.
What can an estate plan help you protect your family from? If you have minor children, an estate plan can help ease their transition after your demise. By designating who you choose as guardian for your children, you avoid the probability of the Georgia Division of Family and Children Services becoming involved in their immediate and long-term future. When that happens, your children face the possibility of being assigned to a foster home while the court decides on the best permanent placement for them.
An estate plan also provides for the future of your children and can make provisions for their immediate care and future education as well. An estate plan also eases the grief process for your family and friends by eliminating hurt feelings and confusion over possession of your belongings. Further, when your estate plan includes a fully funded revocable trust, your family can avoid the lengthy and time-consuming process of the probate court system.
