An estate plan is important for everyone, no matter your age or wealth. It can act as a safety net that helps preserve the value of your assets, minimizes wait times for disbursement, and helps ensure the legacy you envisioned is carried out. Additionally, it ensures you are taken care of according to your wishes by someone you trust should you become incapacitated.
Losing a loved one is never easy and, in many cases, matters are made even more challenging when a will isn’t in place or if an improperly prepared will is contested. Probate in Colorado can be difficult to navigate alone, which is why you need to work with an experienced attorney to help guide you and your family through the complex process during an already difficult time. A reliable attorney can also help ease your mind by assisting with the finalization and administration of an estate, which ensures your rights are protected through each step.
With a pet trust, you can leave money to be used for the care of your dogs, cats, horses, birds, sheep, cattle, alpacas, or other animals along with detailed instructions appointing caretakers and outlining the care you desire. Pet Trusts cover the care of your pet after you are deceased but will also cover their care in the event you become incapacitated.
A succession plan for a business is much like a will for an individual. It is a set of legal documents that covers all the instructions and maps out the proper steps for the transfer of ownership of your business. The succession plan will detail what to do with the business if the owner is no longer able to care for the company as a result of death, disability, or retirement.
