There is nothing more important than ensuring the financial security of your family. Wills and trusts are one of the ways you can protect the people you love. Attorney Einhorn will work with you to lay out an estate plan that fits your unique situation. A proper plan will makes sure that your final wishes are carried out, whatever they may be.
Many people assume that if they are not wealthy, they don't need an estate plan. This is not true. Even if you don't have many possessions, it's important to make sure that what you do have is distributed in the manner that you want. Please contact Attorney Einhorn today for a free consultation and to learn what your estate planning options are. Some things you might like to know about wills before visiting:
- A will is a document satisfying certain formal requirements by which a person plans for the disposition of his or her assets after death
- In Connecticut anyone who is at least eighteen years old and of sound mind can make a will.
- A will executed in the State of Connecticut must be in writing. It also must be signed by the person making the will. It must also be signed in the presence of two witnesses who must sign as such in the presence of the person making the will.
- A will remains in effect until it is revoked. A marriage, divorce, birth or adoption of a child will usually revoke a will unless a provision is made to cover that occurrence. Additionally, a will can be revoked at any time during one's life by making a new will and/or revoking the existing one.
- By having a will, an individual can plan and provide for the particular needs of his or her family. Without a will, state Intestate laws (a rigid formula of distribution based on relations) determine the family needs and wants without your consent.
