Estate planning is a very important part of your life and a process that applies during your life as well as after your death. It is important because we have no idea of what lies ahead of our lives, not only in death but also during our lives and if you do not have an estate plan in place it can be chaotic. What will happen to children when both parents die suddenly? What will happen to your husband/wife if you die suddenly? Although people do not like to think of their mortality, we at Scholtz Attorneys are more than willing to guide you through this process with counselling, advice and planning of your estate.
Planning of your estate helps you determine your financial needs and assets and ensuring the provision of your heirs after death. A will and a trust are two sides of the same coin, if you have both, your estate planning will be complete. A trust takes effect immediately when created and a will goes in effect the minute you die.
