How to find a Naples Estate Planning Lawyer
Estate planning is something that every Naples resident needs, no matter what type of financial resources they have. Whether you have extensive investments, liquid assets, and many pieces of real estate or just a home and a bank account, you will want to utilize a reliable estate planning lawyer to handle all of your estate needs.
Why do I need an Estate Planning Lawyer?
Whenever someone from Naples passes away, regardless of their financial status, their estate follows the same process. The probate court begins to put together all of the assets and debits of the estate and begins putting an estate structure together to handle all of the affairs of the estate. If you do not work with an estate planning lawyer before you pass away, then the probate court will decide where all of your assets go and what happens to all of your property. This only occurs if you simply have a will.
What does an Estate Planning Lawyer do?
An estate planning lawyer will look over all of your assets, your debts, and all of your instructions for the distribution of your assets after you pass on and use the right estate planning tools to get everything in order. When you pass away, if you only have a will, the probate court will see your explicit instructions and make sure that your final wishes are honored.
