Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I really need a will if I don’t have a lot of money?

    Yes. A will isn’t just about money—it ensures your belongings go to the right people and names guardians for your kids. It also makes life easier for your family during a difficult time.

  • What’s the difference between a will and a trust?

    A will goes into effect after you die and usually requires probate. A trust can take effect during your life, avoids probate, and offers more control. We’ll explain which makes sense for you.

  • Do I need a power of attorney?

    Yes. If you become unable to handle your finances, a power of attorney allows someone you trust to step in. Without it, your family may need to go to court to get guardianship.

  • Can I update my estate plan later?

    Absolutely. Your plan should change as your life does. We offer simple updates when needed—whether it’s adding a child, changing an executor, or adjusting a trust.
