ARE ONLINE WILL & ESTATE PLANNING SERVICES COST EFFECTIVE?

The short answer is no.  There is no one who is knowledgeable about your state laws and no one to insure you have properly filled out the online paperwork.

Just today I had an purported Will come into my office that does not meet the statutory requirements in Alabama for a Will. Now instead of the will being probated and assets distributed to according the desires in the Will. Now distribution of the assets will be according to statute and not the deceased desires as set out in his online will.

Do not let the lure of cheap prices cause your wishes to not be followed! Call us today for a consultation on getting your estate in order.

The Key Benefits of Estate Planning

Estate planning is an essential aspect of responsible financial management. By engaging in estate planning, individuals can minimize estate taxes, avoid probate, and ensure a smooth transition of assets to beneficiaries. Additionally, estate planning allows individuals to specify their preferences for medical care and end-of-life decisions, sparing their loved ones from making difficult choices during emotionally challenging times. Moreover, estate planning enables individuals to protect their assets from creditors and potential legal disputes, preserving their hard-earned wealth for future generations. Ultimately, estate planning is a proactive measure that provides peace of mind and financial security for individuals and their families.
