What Are the Legal Aspects of Estate Planning?
The legal aspects of estate planning involve drafting living wills, trusts, power of attorney (POA), and other legal documents to simplify any transfer and manage the property after death. When estates are not manageable, and someone dies without a will, distribution of possessions goes to their next kin.
An individual can also hire an estate planning lawyer hourly to handle a level of maintenance to your estate, take care of disputes when necessary, and make sure your Will carries out according to plan.
