Wills
If you want to protect your estate and ensure that it passes into the right hands after your death, it's important to have a will that clearly states how you want your property to be distributed. Some people never write a will, which means the government will decide what happens to their belongings once they are no longer able to do so. Since facing the loss of a loved one is painful enough, you don't want to put your family through an estate dispute. In order to ensure that your will is worded in a way that will not leave any questions, you will need a will lawyer to help. McKeethen Law Office will guide you through the will-writing process and answer all of your questions.
Living Trusts
Unlike a will, a trust can reduce or eliminate estate taxes, and the need for probate court. Trusts are estate planning tools that name a trustee to manage a person’s assets during his or her lifetime, and tells the trustee how to distribute those assets when the person dies.
