Why Estate Planning Is Important

Estate Planning Attorney McKinney TXWills and trusts are crucial to achieving your estate planning goals. Not only do they just allocate your property to friends and family. It can also dictate how or if you are cared for at the end of your life. Also can help your family from spending money on unnecessary court costs and taxes. Here are some other reasons on why you need to get a will and trust in place today.

Appointing Legal Guardians

If you have minor children, a will or trust can instruct who will have legal guardianship of your children if you and the other parent happen to pass away at the same time. If you have people you would prefer the children to go to, or alternatively, someone you would not feel comfortable them going to, you can specify it in your estate plan.

Prevents Intestate Succession

When you die without a will or trust, state laws known as “intestate succession laws” will decide which family members will inherit your estate and in what proportion. You will not want the court to make those types of important decisions on your behalf. There also will be hefty court fees in having the court make that determination.

Prevents Family Conflict

Confusion surrounding the division of an estate can cause some terrible family conflict. If you create a clear estate plan then your family and friends can see clearly what your intentions were. While this always doesn’t prevent it, it certainly helps.

Talk to An Attorney

An attorney can help you in putting together an effective estate plan. When you find an attorney that you would like to work with, they should walk you through each step in the estate planning process. You will address financials, your medical wishes, specific assets, and how to put everything in place.

Our Attorneys would be happy to answer any questions about putting together a will or trust for you. Contact the Lucé Evans Law Firm online or call us at (972) 632-1300.

    Why Estate Planning Is Important

    “ There is no easy way to describe how grateful I am.  It's really quite interesting how I came to find the Lucé Evans Law offices.  Having gone through months of frustration and not knowing what to do next, I prayed for direction and guidance.  Later that night I attended a football game.  I opened the program, and the first page I saw was an ad for Lucé Evans Law.   The words "Keep the Faith" resonated with me, since faith is what I had been holding on to during my ordeal.  The name Lucé was a familiar one, because I had heard it announced so many times during the football games.  I could not have ever imagined that that name would be etched in my mind and heart and have such significant meaning in my life. Monday couldn't come soon enough.  I placed a call to your office and was met with a kind, concerning voice.  As we continued to talk, I realized I was talking to Val, whom I had met once before, because our sons were classmates.  I felt home.  I knew this was where I needed to be. All though my journey to that point had been long, I was ready to travel the remainder of the way with Lucé Evans Law.  When I came into the office, I was physically and emotionally hurt.  Joe, you took the time to see my pain and comfort me by letting me know everything was going to be okay.  Val, you assured me that Lucé Evans Law would do everything they could for me.  Sandy, you gave me peace by telling me that you were all there for me whenever I needed you.  There was always a kind word and a smile. None of us knew what the outcome would be, but for the first time, I wasn't worried about it anymore.  I felt safe in knowing the Lucé team was by my side and secure in knowing you were going to do your best.  You worked tirelessly on my behalf.  Joe, I have to admit that you got me with your wonderful surprise.  What an emotional moment for me.  You never quit until you felt you had done all you could.  For that I say thank you.  I always had the comfort of knowing that the Lucé team was behind the scenes working for me, and you showed me that every step of the way.  Even though I know you had other clients, I felt like I was the only one.  That's the specialness of who you are, and you spared nothing in making me feel special.  You all have such big hearts. You did as you said. You made sure I was treated fairly and respectfully.  I will never forget the work you did for me or how your encouragement help brighten my days.  You are awesome!  I don't know what I would have done without you, but I am so thankful that God caused our paths to cross.  Joe, Val, and Sandy, thank you.  You gave me nothing but your best! Eternally grateful, Carol C”
