Bellevue Estate Planning Lawyer

Trusted Will, Trust & Probate Attorneys in the Seattle Metro Area

Estate planning is all about using the proper legal instruments to ensure that your wishes are carried out according to your instructions. These tools can include:

  • Wills, which are the simplest tool and can form the foundation of a much larger plan.
  • Trusts, which are another method of estate transfer.
  • Powers of Attorney which authorize a trusted person to act on your behalf in decisions related to property, finances, or medical care.
  • Advance health care directives to direct end-of-life medical care.

Our estate planning lawyers in Bellevue start estate planning by discussing with you the best ways to protect your family and give them clear direction using the above tools.

Once we have an up-to-date picture of your current assets, we can create a thoughtful estate plan strategy. As time passes, circumstances can change that may require revisions to your plan.

What Is Estate Planning?

Estate planning is not about money or morbid thoughts you would rather avoid. It is about the power to provide comfort and about giving your loved ones clear direction in a time of chaos. It creates a thoughtful strategy for bestowing the final gifts of your life in a way that will benefit your loved ones the most. Estate planning is about caring enough to prepare.

The field of estate planning deals with the protection and management of your estate. Among its many aspects are the arrangements for disability, long-term care, funeral expenses, financial affairs, business transfer, guardianship, conservatorship, inheritance, and special needs planning.

While thinking about estate planning makes many people uneasy, it is truly essential. Whether you regard yourself as middle class, wealthy, or somewhere in between, a legal plan is needed. You may not know where to start. You may wonder whether you should make a will with online tools or work with an experienced estate planning attorney in Bellevue and the Seattle metro area.
