Comprehensive Estate Planning Services
Estate planning is more than just drafting a will—it involves creating a detailed plan that addresses a range of financial and personal matters. Whether you need help with basic documents like a will or more complex strategies like establishing trusts, we provide a full spectrum of estate planning services to suit your unique circumstances. Our attorneys take the time to understand your family dynamics, assets, and goals, ensuring that your estate plan reflects your wishes and provides for the people and causes you care about most.
Drafting and Reviewing Wills
A will is a foundational document in any estate plan. It outlines how your assets will be distributed, names guardians for your minor children, and designates an executor to oversee the administration of your estate. However, many individuals overlook the importance of having a clear and up-to-date will. At Rifleman Law & Mediation, we specialize in drafting customized wills that meet your specific needs and comply with Utah law. We will guide you through the process of selecting beneficiaries, naming an executor, and addressing any unique concerns you may have about the distribution of your estate.
If you already have a will in place, we also offer comprehensive will review services to ensure that it remains current and aligned with your wishes. Life circumstances change, and it is important to update your will to reflect changes such as marriage, the birth of children, or changes in your financial situation. Our attorneys will review your existing will and provide advice on any necessary updates or amendments.
Creating and Amending Trusts
Trusts are powerful tools for managing and distributing your assets in a way that minimizes probate, reduces estate taxes, and provides for your family in the long term. We offer a range of trust services, from basic revocable living trusts to more advanced irrevocable trusts, special needs trusts, and charitable remainder trusts. Each type of trust serves a different purpose, and our attorneys will help you choose the right one to suit your goals.
A revocable living trust is one of the most common types of trusts. It allows you to maintain control over your assets while you are alive, with the added benefit of allowing your estate to avoid the lengthy and costly probate process after your death. We can help you establish a revocable living trust that ensures your assets are managed and distributed according to your wishes. If you need to amend an existing trust, we also offer services to update the terms of your trust, ensuring that it reflects any changes in your life or goals.
Comprehensive Estate Plans
Estate planning is not just about drafting a will or establishing trusts—it’s about creating a comprehensive strategy that covers all aspects of your financial and personal affairs. Our attorneys work closely with clients to develop a complete estate plan that may include the following components:
- Powers of Attorney: A power of attorney allows you to designate someone to make financial or healthcare decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. We can help you create durable powers of attorney that will ensure your wishes are carried out if you are unable to make decisions for yourself.
- Advance Healthcare Directives: An advance healthcare directive, also known as a living will, allows you to express your preferences for medical treatment in the event you are unable to communicate your wishes. We help you create clear, legally binding directives that ensure your healthcare decisions are followed.
- Guardianship for Minor Children: If you have young children, naming a guardian in your will is essential. This ensures that, in the event of your death, someone you trust will care for your children. We can assist you in selecting an appropriate guardian and creating legal provisions to support their care.
- Asset Protection and Tax Planning: Our attorneys also help clients with asset protection strategies and tax planning to minimize the tax burden on their estates. We can guide you through the use of trusts and other strategies designed to protect your assets from creditors and reduce estate taxes for your beneficiaries.
