What would happen legally to you, your family, or your assets if an unexpected circumstance occurred? If you don’t have a plan for the inevitable future, the state of Utah does.

An all-inclusive estate plan is crucial in ensuring your wishes are honored and your family is properly cared for after you pass away” with “What would happen legally to you, your family, or your assets if an unexpected circumstance occurred? If you don’t have a plan for the inevitable future, the state of Utah does. You and your loved ones deserve better than having to abide by the government’s plans for you leading up to and after your death. Nevertheless, few take the time to establish a plan for their assets in the event of passing, despite it being one of the most important decisions you can make. A thorough estate plan addresses wills, trusts, powers of attorney, quick claim deeds, healthcare directives, and guardianship designations, among others. It is important to consult with a qualified legal professional like Kelly Cardon to ensure that all aspects of your estate plan are properly addressed. If not taken care of before either the anticipated or unanticipated happens, the lack of a proper estate plan can welcome havoc to your family and lifetimes of negative feelings between potential heirs. Once your plan is in place, it’s equally important to adjust your plan as circumstances and personalities change. After all, there’s nothing more important to stay on top of than protecting the ones you love.

- Minimize Taxes and Unnecessary Expenses: With estate planning, you can reduce the tax burden on your estate and avoid unnecessary legal fees.
