WILLS AND ESTATE PLANNING: Whether your estate is worth $10,000 or $10,000,000, HEENEY & ASSOCIATES can assist you in setting up a Will and Estate Plan that will benefit both you and your family by saving inheritance taxes, probate costs and ensuring that your final wishes are carried out the way you want them to be carried out. Without a Will, the Courts determine who represents your estate and how it is distribed. This lack of planning can cost your estate thousands of dollars more than if you had a Will in place. Furthermore, a properly executed estate plan can protect your assets from creditors so that the greatest amount possible is pasted on to your heirs.
PROBATE: When some dies, generally, their estate must go through the probate process. This involves going to the Courts and having an executor or administrator appointed to represent the estate. The executor/administrator is then charged with the responsiblity of gathering all of the decedents assets, reporting those assets to the court, paying the decedents final expenses and outstanding bills, filing an inheritance tax return and making appropriate distributions to heirs. HEENEY & ASSOCIATES can assist clients in all aspects of the probate process from start to finish. |
