Having a plan in place actually makes things much easier for your family and loved ones. The compassionate estate planning attorneys at Wasikowski Law Firm LLC can help you get started.

Is someone authorized to make medical or financial decisions for you in the event that you are unable to do so for yourself? Let us help you answer these questions and more - and get your wishes documented to make sure your wishes are followed.

Good Estate Planning Should:

1. Include instructions for the distribution of your valuables
2. Name a guardian for minors
3. Name an inheritance manager for minors
4. Dedicate someone to direct your medical and financial decisions in the event that you are unable to.
5. Give instructions for the transfer of your business.

Ultimately, planning your estate is not a one time task.  It should be ongoing and changing as your personal and financial situation changes.

Why You Should Hire an Estate Planning Attorney

Do you ever wonder what will happen to your investments, real estate, and other personal possessions when you pass away? Hiring a professional estate planning attorney will assist you in making sure your assets are protected and passed down to your loved ones. Our attorneys at Wasikowski Law Firm, LLC will assist you in creating an estate plan that will list who you want to receive your assets, what they will receive, and when they receive them. Creating an estate plan on your own can be difficult, so we suggest you do not do it independently. Here are various reasons why it is essential to hire an estate planning attorney.


  • Helps Avoid Probate: Probate is the process of transferring a deceased person's assets to the correct people. Going through this process can take years and be quite costly. You can avoid probate by designating all your assets to beneficiaries. An estate planning attorney can assist you in making sure all your assets are accounted for. 
  • Protects Beneficiaries and Assets: An estate planning attorney will ensure all your assets and beneficiaries are properly taken care of. Many documents can be written that will state what your beneficiary receives and when they will receive them. Your estate plan will ensure your beneficiaries and assets are protected no matter the situation. 
  • Will Assist Family Members with Special Needs: If you have a family member with special needs, one of the most significant stressors could be what will happen to them once I am gone. You may need to consider appointing a guardian in your estate planning. An estate planning attorney will provide specific knowledge on special needs trusts and ensure your appointed guardian follows your particular plan.
  • Gives You the Ability to Make Changes: As you know, life happens, and things change. Whether there is a divorce, a new child is born, family dynamics changes, etc., it is crucial to continually update your estate plan to meet your family's needs. Hiring an estate attorney will guarantee all your updates are made correctly.
