Myth: “I don’t need to spend my money on an attorney to create an estate plan. My kids get along great! There won’t be any fighting when I die. And there surely won’t be any fighting if I become in need of care or assistance.”
Truth: People are unpredictable when money or control is on the table. Trust us – lawyers make a living from cleaning up the mess. If you take matters into your own hands by doing nothing, or doing an estate plan on your own without a knowledgeable attorney, or doing an estate plan with an attorney who is a “jack of all trades,” you run the risk of being penny rich and tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands, of dollars poor because someone filed a court action.
Edwards Estate & Elder Law can help you invest in an estate plan that considers family dynamics to avoid a court battle, ensuring your inheritance gets to your beneficiaries and is not lost in litigation fees. We can help aggrieved beneficiaries, caregivers under siege, and Executors and Trustees with navigating probate and administration, and deal with beneficiary or creditor issues.
