Estate Planning Lawyers in Bellevue

Protect Your Family & Your Legacy

Estate planning is not about money or morbid thoughts you would rather avoid. It is about the power to provide comfort and about giving your loved ones clear direction in a time of chaos. It creates a thoughtful strategy for bestowing the final gifts of your life in a way that will benefit your loved ones the most. Estate planning is about caring enough to prepare.

While thinking about estate planning makes many people uneasy, it is truly essential. Whether you regard yourself as middle class, wealthy, or somewhere in between, a legal plan is needed. You may not know where to start. You may wonder whether you should make a will with online tools or work with an experienced estate planning attorney.

At Jerimy Kirschner & Associates, PLLC, we have seen how poorly cut-and-paste wills hold up when challenged in court. We want a better outcome for your family. Our litigation experience working primarily in estate law means we know what questions to ask about you, your family, and your estate to arrive at a plan that truly protects everyone.

What is Estate Planning?

Estate planning is all about using the proper legal instruments to ensure that your wishes are carried out according to your instructions. These tools can include:

  • Wills, which are the simplest tool and can form the foundation of a much larger plan.
  • Trusts, which are another method of estate transfer.
  • Powers of Attorney which authorize a trusted person to act on your behalf in decisions related to property, finances, or medical care.
  • Advance health care directives to direct end-of-life medical care.

Our firm starts estate planning by discussing with you the best ways to protect your family and give them clear direction using the above tools. Once we have an up-to-date picture of your current assets, we can create a thoughtful estate plan strategy. As time passes, circumstances can change that may require revisions to your plan.

We can be your partner in implementing those revisions to ensure that your legacy and family are always safeguarded.

Why You Should Contact an Estate Planning Attorney

Quality estate planning provides comfort and guidance to your loved ones during times of great distress. An attorney will help you think through and create a thorough plan tailored to you and your family’s needs. Without proper estate planning, loved ones are often left guessing about your final wishes and — in worst-case scenarios — second-guessing one another’s motives. This can lead to needless conflict. An estate planning lawyer can help you give your loved ones some measure of peace in your passing.

Estate planning also gives you the control to decide what you want done with your assets and prevents battles between your loved ones over property, such as family heirlooms. Proper planning also prevents a loved one’s creditors from seizing your gifts to them. Completing your estate planning ensures that only the people you choose will receive the benefit of your life of hard work. Your loved ones deserve all the comfort and protection you can provide.
