=> Estate Planning
Estate planning allows an individual to plan for his or her lifetime objectives and to provide direction about the disposition of his or her assets after death. Estate planning can include wills and trusts as well as powers of attorney and healthcare directives.
=> Asset Protection and Estate Planning
An important goal of estate planning is to protect income and assets from creditors’ claims and tax collection. In addition to federal and state laws that exempt certain types of property from creditors’ claims, taxation, or both, there are numerous estate planning tools that may be able to shield assets from future creditors and reduce or eliminate estate or income taxation.
While you cannot predict your future, you can plan for it and make it a less stressful experience for your loved ones with the right legal advise. Call us at 888-483-5040 for a free consultation for your estate planning or your Florida probate case needs. Visit us at http://www.heiderlaw.com.
