Only an Estate Attorney in Baldwin County knows exactly what you need.

In your Last Will and Testament you’ll clearly designate how your money and property will be distributed after you’re gone. Strategies and precautions can also be put in place to help avoid a complicated and stressful Probate process.

Your Knapp Law Firm estate planning lawyer can also prepare a ‘Living Will’ where you can make decisions in advance about your care if you become incapacitated. Also important is a ‘Power of Attorney’ document that identifies who will make decisions on your behalf.

Who needs to prepare a will? Anyone with assets.

Estate Planning and Wills aren’t just for well-to-do families. If you have any money or property at all, you need to ensure in advance that claims aren’t made in ‘Probate Court’ that could prevent your family from getting what’s due to them.

A lack of planning can also result in your hard-earned money going to the government for tax bills that could have been avoided. Mistakes or oversights can also cause your assets to lose value.

Have questions about preparing or updating a Will? We’re here to help.

  • What kinds of assets should be covered in a will? Bank accounts, retirement or investment accounts, houses, real estate, motor vehicles. Also, any business you own or other business interests you have.
  • What if I’ve remarried? What if I have step children, adopted children, or special-needs children? We’ll help you sort through the options for these common circumstances, so you can make the right decisions for yourself and your loved ones.
