Why Estate Planning?

Losing a loved one or dealing with their incapacitation is an extremely difficult time. Planning in advance makes a difficult time much easier for those left behind or taking care of you. Meeting with an attorney often prevents simple problems that can be expensive and time consuming later.

Many families have the mistaken idea that estate planning is unnecessary because they have no estate.

However, this is not the case. Even seemingly simple tasks such as transferring a car title or using a savings account or 401K can be made terribly complex through lack of proper planning.

Estate Planning

Estate planning includes a free consultation to learn about the family, the children or potential beneficiaries, assets, and goals.  After the initial consultation, Burkhardt Law works with its clients to provide for their family the way they want and to make sure they understand what their legal documents do.

Wading through a pile of legal documents or attempting the self-administered estate plan can be a frustrating and time wasting experience. However, working with an attorney who fully understands your goals and who is comfortable with explaining every aspect of the estate planning process with a client is rewarding and efficient.
