Ready to talk about something that's probably not on your Georgia bucket list, but should be? 🍑 Estate planning! We know, we know—it sounds as fun as a traffic jam on I-285. But what if we told you it's actually the ultimate way to show your loved ones some major Southern hospitality?
Think of it this way:
- A will is your VIP list. This isn't just about who gets your treasured family heirlooms. Without a will, Georgia law decides who inherits your assets, and it might not be the people you expect or in the way you would want. A will lets you decide who is on your guest list for the family gathering of your estate, and who gets invited to the after-party (of your stuff). Our will packages include a Will, Health Care Directive, and Financial Power of Attorney (if desired).
- A trust may help you skip the line. Sometimes the probate process can be overwhelming and time consuming. There may also be other reasons to explore adding a trust to your estate plan. We can help with that too!
- You can name a guardian for your children (and pets!). It's not just about a will and trusts!. If you have minor children, you can use your will to name a legal guardian to care for them if something happens to you. You can also make sure your furry family members are taken care of by naming a guardian for them, too.
- You can make a plan for your digital assets. In 2025, it's not just about your house and bank accounts. Your social media accounts, email addresses, and even passwords to your streaming services are all part of your digital legacy. Including these in your estate plan ensures they are managed according to your wishes.
- You can give yourself peace of mind. Having an estate plan is a gift to yourself as well as your loved ones. It can help you make sure your wishes are followed, and your family is provided for.
Don't leave your family in a state of confusion after you're gone. An estate plan is a way of showing your loved ones that you love them and that you were even looking out for them even after you are gone. At Miles Hansford Law Firm, our experienced estate planning attorneys are here to help you decide the best plan to protect your assets for your loved ones.
