Estate Planning

Experienced Estate Planning Attorney Serving the Green Bay, WI Metro Area

Estate planning is not just making a will. While everyone should have a Last Will and Testament, the estate planning process involves so much more. At the Law Offices of Christina J. Kabara, LLC, we can assist you with every step of the process, from simple beneficiary deeds to complex trusts. Many people avoid estate planning because they think it is unnecessary or unhelpful for their situation. Estate planning is not about how much money you have today. It is about preparing for what may happen next week, next month, or even five years from now. Our experienced estate planning attorney can help you make sure that your family is taken care of if something unexpected happens to you.

The Importance of Having a Power of Attorney

What if you are seriously injured in an accident and unable to coherently express your wishes regarding health care? A Power of Attorney for Health Care authorizes someone you trust to make those decisions on your behalf. You can also incorporate a Living Will that instructs your doctors on what to do in the event of a terminal illness, i.e. whether to use “life-prolonging” measures. Similarly, a Durable Power of Attorney of Finances and Property allows you to name an individual to manage your financial affairs while you are incapacitated. Proper estate planning offers security and protection against potential abuse.

Estate Planning is an Ongoing Process

Even if you already have a will and powers of attorney, it is important to take stock of your situation every few years, and definitely after a major life-changing event, such as a divorce or a death in the family. The Law Offices of Christina J. Kabara, LLC can review your existing estate plan and identify areas where you need to make changes. Remember, estate planning is not something you do once and then forget about, it is an ongoing process that will grow and change with you.
