What Other Considerations Go Into Making An Estate Plan?
A carefully crafted estate plan expresses the totality of your wishes and instructions regarding the distribution of your assets after you die. Also, your estate plan should provide for careful management of your assets, now and in the future, and protections against excessive estate taxation.
Another important consideration is whether a will or trust is better suited to your needs. Tammy Akers will carefully explain the mechanics, pros and cons of:
- A last will
- A living will
- A living trust and whether a revocable, irrevocable, or testamentary trust is most suitable for you
The Law Firm of Tammy W. Akers, LLC will make these decisions and their ramifications easier to understand so you can make informed choices about your and your family’s future.
What If You Believe Your Inheritance Is Unfair or Doesn’t Reflect The Intention of The Deceased?
Sometimes, the death of a loved one surfaces more emotions than grief alone. With the loss of a parent or relative, complicated and longstanding family dynamics grounded in unresolved disagreements, disputes and resentments are intensified by the execution of the estate.
If you believe your inheritance does not faithfully represent your deceased relative’s intention or think what you received was unfair, you can contest the will or estate. To do this, however, you need an experienced wills and trusts lawyer who understands and can deal with the complexities of Colorado’s estate planning laws.
Tammy Akers will work with you to determine whether your claim has standing. As a skilled will contest lawyer, she can provide you with options. If your portion of the inheritance is unfair, she will advocate for a more equitable distribution, whether in court or mediation.
If she determines you have standing to contest the will or estate, Tammy Akers can work with you to define the reasons for contesting the will and filing the objection in court. If she determines your claim was based on fraud, mental incapacity or undue influence, she will help you gather all necessary documents, testimony and other evidence to make the strongest possible case.
