Find a Estate Planning
Lawyer in Ohio

How Can We Help You Find the Perfect Will and Trust Lawyer in Ohio?

Over the course of your lifetime, you probably now have a home or two, a 401 K retirement plan, a possible business, stocks, money saved away, and more. While there is no right time to put together a will, you don’t necessarily want to wait until it is too late and you aren’t physically able to make certain decisions on where your assets will go once you die. Of course a will isn’t a requirement as the state of Ohio has laws and regulations on how your wealth will be transferred, but shouldn’t you be the one to decide this?

An estate plan is going to encompass a number of different things which include:

• Your living will which can be used to designate power of attorney, guardianship over your children, and more.
• Who is going to receive your assets and how you want them to acquire this wealth.
• Will your tangible assets go to friends or family, or both?
• Name your executor who is going to be responsible for carrying out the probate process. This person is rather important as they not only can make certain decisions, but can also help avoid disagreements.
• Name a guardian, especially if you have a disabled child in the event you pass away.
• Provide a trust for individuals who you want to directly receive assets and avoid going through the probate process.
• Decide if you want heirs to inherit real estate or executor to sell your home
