When planning for end of life, making sure your affairs are in order can help relieve stress on you and your loved ones.
​
Most people PROCRASTINATE – just don’t let it be you!

• Over 70% of Americans die without a will
• Only 32% of African Americans have a will
• Only 26% of Hispanics have a will
• 50% of parents die without a will

Working with an attorney to manage your estate is often beneficial to ensure your wishes are properly carried out and your family does not incur additional burden or expense after your passing.

Inaction has real consequences. If you die without a will then the state of Texas decides how your estate is distributed (intestate). If you die after executing a Last Will and Testament, then your wishes for the distribution of your estate will be followed (testate).

​Stay in control, avoid probate, and protect your heirs!  Cohoon Legal offers three estate planning options for you to consider — Complete Estate Plan, Simple Will Plan, and individual estate plan documents. These are detailed below.

What are the benefits of Planning?

• Minimize estate expenses, probate cost, admin fees, and attorney fees
• Minimize taxes paid by estate
• Advance healthcare decision
• Make your wishes known and help alleviate conflict after your death

An estate plan is a comprehensive strategy, over and above, just a will. At Cohoon Legal, I will evaluate your estate and discuss your wishes for the distribution of your assets. It is very important to know who you want making decision for you about your finances and your health and medical care when you are unable to do so.  

Cohoon Legal can prepare new estate planning documents or review your current records. I recommend that estate planning documents should be regularly reviewed, especially if a significant life event has occurred.

If you would like to discuss your legal concerns with Cohoon Legal, please schedule a phone consultation.
