Estate Planning 

We at Desert Canyon Law understand that life is most unpredictable, yet having plans in place can make the unpredictable easier. Planning your estate gives you the peace of mind of knowing that your loved ones and important causes get exactly what you want them to. Planning where your financial, real, and material assets go is one of the best ways to plan for the unexpected.

 

Our estate planning team can create a customized plan to make sure you have control after death, ensuring your wishes are met exactly as you want. We will work with you to set up an airtight plan that sidesteps burdensome hassles, reduces taxes and other costs, and leaves your assets in the right hands no matter how complicated your family or businesses are. Plan your estate today and know you planned for the unpredictable.

Often times having a will is too simple to truly plan for your future. Adding documents such as health care directives and powers of attorney, financial powers of attorney, and trusts to your estate planning portfolio further support your wishes being followed. For example, When you only have a will, your estate will likely need to go through probate court. Probate court can be expensive, lengthy, and a hassle, especially if some of your heirs live out of town. A well-drafted trust can help you transfer your assets to your heirs outside of the probate process, saving your heirs time and money at an emotionally taxing time.

 

Similarly, a health care directive can provide your healthcare power of attorney with your exact wishes should you not be able to communicate them yourself. Having that instrument in place gives your family peace of mind, knowing that they are carrying out your wishes.

Estate Planning For
Special Circumstances

You might own or co-own a business. What happens to that business once you pass away?

Perhaps you have a disabled child. We can set up a trust for your special needs child that protects the assets you set aside for their care while preserving their right to government benefits. Whatever your situation, our estate planning attorneys can assist you in ensuring a smooth transition following your death. Set up a consultation with our legal team today.

We at Desert Canyon Law recommend that everyone should have their estate planned at one point in their lives. We see it far too often that when our loved ones pass away everyone is left to try and interpret ones wishes from outside the grave. To minimize the confusion in an already emotionally charged time, we recommend having an estate planned.
