Wills and Estate Planning.

Who among us does not procrastinate when it comes to this matter?  The very idea of addressing the issue forces us to face our own mortality.  If we had the exact date when you were scheduled to shuffle off this mortal coil, perhaps there would be no sense of urgency in making sure that your estate has been properly allocated by YOU while you are of sound mind.

Estate planning goes much further than just doing a will.  Here is why.  It not only deals with the precise distribution of your assets, but it also follows the wishes that you have for the people that you care about most.  In the long run, it may go a long way in determining a smaller tax bill, court costs, and fees that your loved ones could pay. You may wish to plan for powers of attorney or directives to physicians.

We should all think about the inevitable.  If you are a baby-boomer, for example then you have spent decades acquiring wealth and possessions.  Isn’t it time to consider where all of that will be going when you are gone?  For over four and a half decades Lyle Clark has been a Seattle area will and estate attorney.  Call him for an appointment at his Bellevue office at (425) 452-3092.
