Attend a Public WorkshopEstate planning is arranging your affairs to ensure your wishes are followed in case of death or incapacity. It involves creating legal documents to manage assets, provide for loved ones, and make healthcare decisions. Engaging an estate planning lawyer is essential due to the complexities of laws, personalized needs, tax implications, and the creation of legally binding documents.
Our lawyers at Hammond Law Group can help you avoid probate, address family dynamics, and provide peace of mind that your wishes will be respected. We also offer ongoing support to update the plan in response to changes in laws and life circumstances.
An estate plan typically includes several important documents to ensure your wishes are carried out in the event of your passing or incapacitation. These documents often include:
Our Colorado Springs estate planning attorneys can help you draft your documents ensuring they are legally binding and meet your intentions.
A will is a legal document that outlines how you want your assets to be distributed after your death. It also allows you to name guardians for minor children and an executor to oversee the distribution process.
A trust, on the other hand, is a legal entity that holds and manages assets for the benefit of specific individuals or purposes. Unlike a will, a trust can take effect during your lifetime (a living trust) or after your death. Trusts can help avoid probate, provide more privacy, and allow for more detailed control over asset distribution.
Our elder law attorneys in Colorado Springs provide a range of legal services tailored to the needs of older individuals.
These services may include:
Guardianship is a legal arrangement in which a court appoints an individual or entity to make decisions on behalf of an incapacitated person, known as the ward. This might be necessary for elderly individuals when they are unable to make decisions about their personal care, medical treatment, or finances due to cognitive decline, illness, or other factors. Guardianship ensures that the ward’s best interests are protected and that necessary decisions are made on their behalf.
We recommend considering long-term care planning as early as possible, ideally before the need arises. Planning ahead allows you to make informed decisions, ensure financial stability, and have a say in your future care preferences.
Early planning also provides more options and flexibility for implementing strategies that can help protect assets and ensure quality care. Whether you’re considering your own needs or those of a loved one, starting the conversation and planning process sooner rather than later can lead to a more secure and well-prepared future.
We have a team-centered approach. While each client’s family works with one attorney, our attorneys regularly discuss the design of our plans with each other in order to ensure we’re doing everything possible to help you meet your goals.
In addition, each client works primarily with one paralegal, who gets to know you and your estate plan intimately through the design and implementation process. The biggest complaint people have about lawyers is lack of communication, and by working as a team we have virtually eliminated this complaint for our clients.
