Do I Need to Hire a Kaysville Estate Planning Attorney?
If you have a small estate and do not have any minor children, you may be able to create a will or living will on your own. There are many online legal document services that allow you to create these documents for a low cost. However, it is a good idea to have an attorney review the documents to make sure they are valid. An attorney can also help you create a more comprehensive estate plan that covers all of your needs and goals.
Keep in mind that if you have a larger estate, own a business, or have a complex family situation, it is best to hire an estate planning attorney. An attorney will be able to help you create an estate plan that minimizes taxes and ensures that your assets are distributed according to your wishes. An attorney can also help you create a business succession plan if you own a business and make sure that your loved ones are taken care of if you have a special needs family member.
