Estate Planning for Seniors

The most basic estate planning begins with a will. Wills in West Virginia can take several forms. If your will is not properly drafted in one of those forms, it will be considered invalid and upon your death, you will be considered to have died intestate, meaning without a will.

Many people do not feel it is a big concern to die without a will, either because they don’t have many assets, or they assume everything will go to their spouse or children. That may be the case, but things could get complicated when you have a blended family, unmarried same-sex partner or a second marriage.

Even if you only had a small amount of assets, many estates have turned into a court battle over something as simple as mom’s snow globe collection. Saving your family from a major fall-out by executing a simple, well thought-out will could be your greatest legacy.

You may think a trust is something only used for large estates. There are many different types of trusts that serve multiple purposes, and there may be one that is a vital planning tool for you.

And don’t forget about your pets! The last place you want your pets to end up is the animal shelter if something happens to you. Get the documents in place to ensure they live out their lives well-cared for and in loving hands.
