We often wrongly assume we\u2019re too young or don\u2019t have enough assets to require a will. In fact, it\u2019s wise for all of us to prepare a will because it ensures an easier transition for our survivors in the event of our death. We can never know for sure when we\u2019ll die, and our loss will create a difficult, emotional time for our survivors. Having a will in place removes significant additional stress for our loved ones, making things smoother, easier, and less expensive for them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your will is your careful plan and set of directions to guide your loved ones in the event of your death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are various websites that will draft a will and other estate documents for free. However, we, as attorneys at McQuillan & Hohman Law, LLC., do not recommend these services because they may omit essential components of planning and estate documents, leaving aspects of your wishes unspecified and potentially causing future difficulty for your survivors. It\u2019s important to obtain legal counsel when creating your estate plan to ensure that it is done thoroughly, comprehensively, and to your specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Specializing in Alaska and Montana estate planning, McQuillan & Hohman Law, LLC. is dedicated to helping you draft your will and other estate planning documents to ensure that your loved ones are protected and that your wishes for your affairs and property are fulfilled according to your dictates. If you need assistance in creating your estate plan, contact us<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Your will is just one component of your whole estate plan. Typically, an estate plan includes a will, a power of attorney, an advance health care directive and, occasionally, a trust. All of these documents together form a plan for the end of a person\u2019s life. What do these elements accomplish for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n McQuillan & Hohman Law, LLC. cares about you and your loved ones and can be trusted to help you navigate the process of carefully designing and crafting your entire estate plan, tailor made to ensure your wishes are manifested as planned after your death.
