Why Is Estate Planning Important?

Without proper estate planning, your assets are vulnerable to costly legal battles. Your estate could be tied up in probate court for years and a large portion of it can be taken by the local, state and federal governments.

What is Probate?

Probate is the act or process of proving a will. It involves the legal process by which a person’s final debts are settled and legal title to property is formally passed from the deceased to his or her beneficiaries and heirs. It also provides a court-supervised distribution of an estate’s assets. When a person dies, his or her estate must go through probate. The courts oversee this process.

Estate planning is an area many people here in Centennial, CO ignore to their own detriment. However, having an estate plan will protect the rights of your loved ones and ensure they receive the assets you want them to have. It will also minimize the amount any applicable estate taxes. Skipton Law focuses on estate planning. Our team of attorneys can provide you with the guidance you need to make an effective plan to ensure the smooth handling of your money and other resources after your death.

How We Can Protect Your Assets

At Skipton Law, LLC, our estate planning attorneys in Centennial can provide you with the proper legal guidance to protect your assets in the following ways:

  • We can work with you to assign beneficiary designations for your assets to keep your heirs out of probate court.
  • We can help you create a revocable trust. This is a document which will control and transfer the ownership of your assets according to a plan that you create.
  • Should your assets exceed the amount of the estate tax exemption and you want to leave all your assets to your spouse, we can create a solution that helps reduce the amount of estate tax you will have to pay.
  • We can help you retitle your home to ensure it passes to the surviving spouse automatically. This provides some additional creditor protection other types of titles do not offer.
  • We help to ensure proper protection of the assets you leave to your children. We want to make sure the courts distribute them according to your wishes.

Update Your Estate Plan Regularly

Did you create an estate plan many years ago? If so, then our Centennial estate planning law firm can help you to update it to cover your current circumstances. 

For example:

  • We can help you with supplemental needs trusts and a variety of other plans. These then will ensure your heirs do not miss out on receiving public benefits because of your gift.
  • We can help you to update your estate plans to include the birth of your grandchildren, divorce, or other major life events.
  • We can help with the designation of a health care proxy or someone with durable power of attorney.
