Aging
and Services for Elder Individuals
When
preparing a will, careful planning is essential to
ensure that assets are not needlessly depleted, that
tax exposure is minimized and that the interests of
family members are protected. Trusts and other legal
arrangements are often needed to assure a secure and
comfortable future for the beneficiaries.
At
some point, many seniors and adults with disabilities
require appropriate residential services and a full
day of structured activities. There are legal procedures
to help secure these needed services, without cost
to the family.
Probate
is the process which occurs when a will is implemented.
Planning can assure that probate and other estate
administration activities. such as filing of federal
estate tax and state inheritance tax occur as smoothly
as possible. A Living Trust can be used to avoid probate.
