Yes. Estate planning ensures that your wishes are legally protected, prevents unnecessary legal battles, and provides financial security for your family. Without a proper plan, your assets may be distributed according to state law rather than your wishes.

A will is a legal document that outlines how your assets should be distributed after you pass away. A trust allows assets to be managed during lifetime and transferred outside of probate, potentially saving time and legal fees while providing greater privacy and control.

You should review and update your estate plan whenever major life changes occur, such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, a financial shift, a medical crisis or the loss of a loved one. Even if nothing major has changed, we recommend reviewing your plan every three to five years to ensure it still aligns with your goals and current laws.

Medicaid planning helps protect your assets while ensuring you or a loved one qualifies for long-term care benefits. Without proper planning, you may be required to spend down savings before receiving assistance.
