Frequently Asked Questions
What is estate planning?
Estate planning is the process of anticipating and arranging, during a person's life, for the management and disposal of that person's estate during the person's life and at and after death, while minimizing gift, estate, generation skipping transfer, and income tax.
Why do I need an estate plan?
An estate plan ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes, can provide for your loved ones, name guardians for minor children, and potentially reduce taxes and avoid probate court. Without a plan, state laws will determine how your assets are distributed.
What's the difference between a will and a trust?
A will is a legal document that outlines how your assets should be distributed after your death and names guardians for minor children. It goes through probate court. A trust is a legal arrangement where a trustee holds assets for beneficiaries. Trusts can offer more control, privacy, and help avoid probate, but are generally more complex to set up.
Is online estate planning reliable?
Yes, documents created through reputable online estate planning services like Legal Karma are legally reliable, provided they are properly signed, witnessed, and notarized according to your state's laws. Legal Karma provides clear instructions and guidance to help you complete your documents. For specific legal advice, please schedule an appointment with a qualified attorney.
