No one looks forward to thinking about what will happen to their family in the event of their death. However, it\u2019s necessary to ensure that your family is protected and your assets are distributed according to your wishes.<\/p>\n
Without a will in place, your assets are subject to intestate succession, meaning that the state of Ohio will decide how to divide your assets and who receives them. Careful planning is key to avoiding unnecessary taxes and easing the burden of your passing on your family.<\/p>\n
An up-to-date estate plan is by far the easiest and most effective way to alleviate most, if not all, of your family\u2019s stress about your final wishes after your death. A carefully created trust communicates to your family what you want with your remaining assets and liabilities and can potentially eliminate the need for probate.<\/p>\n
A comprehensive estate plan includes how to administer trusts, your selection of power of attorney if you become incapacitated, and clearly outlines the distribution of your assets. Our estate planning attorneys can guide you through the process of creating a will that provides your family with protection and inheritance after your passing.<\/p>\n
If a loved one has passed away and there is a dispute about their will’s validity, you will need to go through the process of estate litigation in Ohio.
