Proactive Approach to Protecting Your Assets
The loss of a loved one brings a sense of personal loss to a family. Add to that grief the confusion and uncertainty from a lack of estate planning. Decisions must be made if you are incapacitated. You are entitled to designate assets to the heirs you select, not what is chosen by a probate court.
At the San Diego County and middle Tennessee-based law offices of The Loftin Firm LLP, we take a proactive and creative approach in developing your estate plan.
While no one wants to consider their own mortality, you must think of those you leave behind. Contact our Carlsbad, California office at 866.933.2340 or our Franklin, Tennessee office at 888.815.4885. You can feel free to also send us an e-mail.
Proper Estate Planning Becomes Your Law
Drafting a will or establishing a trust is not something you should do on your own. You want to make sure that your estate plan essentially becomes your directive both in life and after passing. Enforcement of that directive will come later, but you have the peace of mind that you are controlling your own destiny. We help our estate planning clients draft and implement wills, trusts, living wills, powers of attorney, family limited partnerships and charitable gifts.
Helping You with Complex Estate Planning
At The Loftin Firm LLP, we take on complex estate planning and assist with durable powers of attorney and advanced healthcare directives. Your wishes must be known if you cannot communicate them. We also help clients with specialized tax advice and the establishment of special needs trusts, family limited partnerships, conservatorships and guardianships.
Estate Planning vs. Probate
Without a will, there is uncertainty as to who will receive your estate. In California, the process is lengthy as court dockets are usually filled to capacity. In Tennessee, if an individual with children does not have an estate plan, the assets are divided between the spouse and the children. A will is a vital estate planning tool to make sure your desires are known and your heirs will be protected.
