Estate Planning
Like many of the most important steps we take for our physical health, estate planning is a kind of preventative medicine.
It’s something you don’t have to do today, but you know that doing it will likely help you or your family avoid problems down the road. Having a clear picture of what estate planning entails may help you make it a priority, sooner rather than later.An estate plan is essentially a set of instructions, detailing how you want to distribute any property you leave behind. You will need to decide who you would like to give your assets to and how you would like these people, called beneficiaries, to receive the assets. Beneficiary distributions can be outright, paid in one lump sum. They can also be done at certain milestones, like once a person graduates from college or turns 30. You could also decide to create a trust structure for your beneficiaries, which has added protections for the beneficiaries and safeguards for the property you leave them.
LifeLadder Estate Planning uses a flat-rate, package-based fee structure. Once you choose your package and design your plan, you will know the exact total cost to you – no surprise follow-up fees or extra billable hours to pay for. Packages range between $2500 and $7500.
