As the New Year begins, many of us are thinking about goals and resolutions. One of the most important — and often overlooked — is getting your estate plan in order.
Too many people keep telling themselves, “I’ll do it someday,” when it comes to wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives. Waiting can create confusion, extra legal costs, and stress for your loved ones. There’s no better time than now to protect your family and make sure your hard-earned assets go where you want them to go.
Peter Ligh, founder of Ligh Law LLC, has more than 20 years of experience helping New Yorkers create practical estate plans. Whether it’s a simple will or a comprehensive trust, Ligh Law ensures each plan is tailored to the individual’s needs.
A proper estate plan typically includes:
- A will or trust to protect your assets
- Power of Attorney to designate trusted decision-makers
- Health Care Proxy for medical decisions if you can’t make them yourself
To help people understand what steps they should take, Ligh Law is offering a free webinar on Wednesday, January 28, at 11 a.m. Attendees will learn:
- Why having a will or trust is crucial—no matter your age or income
- What happens when someone passes without a plan
- Key documents everyone should have in place in case of illness or incapacity
- How to avoid probate court and minimize costs and delays
- How to make sure your children are cared for by the people you choose
