A will is a fundamental document in estate planning, allowing you to outline how your assets and affairs should be handled after your passing. We will assist you in creating a legally binding will that accurately reflects your intentions.
When Colorado’s default plan for your family doesn’t align with your wishes, a will can ensure your wishes are carried out. At Strong Law, PLLC, we understand the importance of creating a will that accurately reflects your intentions, safeguards your legacy, and provides clarity and peace of mind to your loved ones during a challenging time.
A will provides you with the opportunity to choose your own heirs and decide to whom you wish to leave your legacy. Think of a will as an instruction manual to the judge. Your will directs who is to receive your real estate property, financial assets, and tangible personal property, such as household goods and furnishings, jewelry, antiques, heirlooms, and similar items. Without a will, your estate may be subject to the state intestacy laws. Intestacy laws determine who will serve as your personal representative, as well as who is to receive your property.
If you have minor children, you may nominate a guardian to care for your children until they reach the age of majority. Similarly, you may nominate a conservator to provide financial management and support for your children, and a custodian to manage your children's inheritance until they reach the age of majority.
A Will only works if probate happens and that usually is not what we want. It is important to work with an estate attorney to understand how you might structure your estate plan to avoid probate and avoid having to use a Will in the first place.
At Strong Law, PLLC, we understand that your will is a deeply personal and significant document. Our approach to creating your will is centered on your unique circumstances and goals. Here's how we assist you:
