People often think that estate planning is only for the rich or the old. But that just isn’t true. No matter your age or your financial standing, you need an estate plan. Estate planning guards you while you’re living and after you pass away. It allows you to protect your family, plan for your personal and financial care, plan for your children’s custody and care, and manage or transfer your assets in the event of incapacitation or death.
At TMCurry Law Offices, we help our clients create individualized estate plans that best suit the needs of their family. We can also help you update an existing estate plan if your circumstances have changed. We offer individual documents and complete estate plans and we focus on smaller estates of $1 million or less.
