Estate Planning Lawyer Monroe, LA

Have you thought about what will happen to your money, property, and home after you pass away? If you haven’t written a will or taken steps to create an estate plan, you could be leaving your loved ones with a big mess and not nearly as many or as many assets as they should have. A good estate plan means that the people you want to inherit will inherit, and will be able to access their inheritance sooner rather than later. The right documents can help reduce estate taxes, bypass probate, and ensure that your loved ones aren’t facing financial difficulties after you pass away.

Our Monroe estate planning lawyer reviews your current financial situation and makes recommendations for an immediate plan for your heirs. We also talk to you about your financial goals, which can include paying for a child’s education or starting to build generational wealth. We explain how the right estate plan, including a series of trusts, can help achieve your goals and protect your assets.

Estate planning helps while you’re alive, as well. If you have a small business, your estate plan can include a business succession plan, which ensures that operations will continue seamlessly if you cannot run the business or after you pass away. Estate plans also include guardianship designation for minor children, so the person you want raising your child will. And, we also help you create legal power of attorney designations, allowing someone you trust to make healthcare and financial decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated.

An estate plan is so much more than a will. It’s complete legal protection for you, your family, and your assets.

Why Our Experience Matters When Creating Estate Plan Protections

Trust our Monroe estate planning lawyer to ensure that all your documents are detailed, correct, and complete. You can rest easy knowing that you’re protected no matter what the future holds.
