Creating the Will that is Right for You
No two people have the same estate planning needs, and Idaho attorney Brian Knox will take the time to understand your goals and tailor a plan to accomplish them. A will is useful for many reasons. It can address important issues, such as:
- Who will care for your minor children if you are gone?
- Who should receive your property if you pass away?
- Will your assets be protected from unnecessary tax liability in the estate administration process?
A well-drafted will can provide your answers for all of these questions. Although a will is a good idea for every adult, people with minor children should absolutely have a will to name a guardian for their children in case something happens and they become unable to care for them.
Depending on your needs, estate planning lawyer Brian D. Knox can draft a simple will or a complex will. A simple will is sufficient for many people; however, if you have complex assets, a more detailed will can allow you to set up a testamentary trust to protect those assets.
How is a Living Will Different?
A living will is not the same thing as a will. While a will allows you to make your wishes known about how things should be taken care of after you pass away, a living will is the document in which you can provide your instructions about life sustaining care if you are in a vegetative state.
If you feel strongly about the medical treatment you want to receive if you are unable to communicate your wishes, Mr. Knox will draft a living will as part of your complete estate plan.
