Our Nebraska Estate Planning Attorneys can help you decide how best to transfer property, and how to resolve other personal matters including tax planning. Estate-planning lawyers can also help you with the most important part of the estate planning process: Making a will.
If you don’t have a will, the state of Nebraska will control who gets your property by default. While most states have their own unique laws descent and property distribution, most states give your children priority when it comes to doling our your possessions.
State laws are modeled after what the legislature thinks most people will want to do, but whatever the laws say might not be in line with your wishes. An estate-planning lawyer can help you draft a will that explains your wishes in great detail.
Our Nebraska Estate Planning Attorneys can also help you set up a trust. A trust holds your property until your death and then disperses the property according to your wishes. Trusts can can be created by your will, or the can be revocable or irrevocable.
Most parents use trusts to better prepare for their children’s needs at the time of their death.
