Commonly Asked Questions

How can I start the estate planning process?

First, you should gather important documents, such as financial statements, property deeds, and any existing wills. Next, consider your goals for your estate, including who you want to inherit your assets and how you wish to provide for your loved ones. Consulting with our experienced attorneys can help you navigate the complexities of estate planning, ensuring that all legal requirements are met and that your plan is tailored to your specific needs.

Why is it important to review my estate plan regularly?

Regularly reviewing your estate plan is crucial to ensure it remains relevant and effective. Life changes such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or significant financial shifts can impact your estate planning needs. Additionally, laws and regulations regarding estate and tax planning can change, potentially affecting your plan's effectiveness

How do your attorneys ensure personalized estate planning solutions?

Our attorneys prioritize personalized service in every estate planning case. We begin by understanding your unique circumstances, goals, and concerns.

What Does a Will Do?

Your will is essential at every stage of your life, and every adult should have one. Your advance directive – also known as your “living will” – provides enforceable medical intervention preferences should you become incapacitated. Together, these two documents protect your wishes should you pass away or become unable to communicate. 

Common items in a will include:

  • Guardianship appointments
  • How you would like to divide your assets
  • Real property transfers
  • Instructions for care of a beloved family pet
  • Any other instructions you believe are relevant

Your last will and testament gives you the opportunity to leave assets to loved ones. You must establish a will if you intend to leave property to any person or entity who is not a blood relative, such as a friend, domestic partner, or charity. 

If you die without a will, the court will determine who receives your property, who cares for your minor children, and even what happens to your pet. The court’s decisions may not reflect your desires. Our team at Kennedy & Ruhsam Law Offices, P.A. can draft and formalize wills that ensure your intentions are honored. We also assist with matters of probate and estate administration.
