Common Questions

Frequently
Asked Questions

What documents are needed for estate planning?

Estate planning typically involves creating a will, living trust, durable power of attorney, and health care directives. We will guide you in preparing these essential documents.

How can I avoid probate in Connecticut?

The best way to avoid probate is by setting up a living trust and ensuring that your assets are properly titled. We can help you design a plan that keeps your estate out of probate court.

What is the difference between a will and a living trust?

A will goes into effect after you pass away and may go through probate, while a living trust takes effect immediately and allows you to avoid probate by transferring assets to beneficiaries directly.

How do I plan for estate taxes in Connecticut?

We provide estate tax planning strategies to reduce the taxes your heirs may owe, including setting up irrevocable trusts, charitable donations, and other wealth preservation techniques.

Can I set up a plan for charitable giving after my death?

Yes, you can create a charitable trust or designate a portion of your estate for charitable giving. This allows you to support causes you care about, ensuring your specific wishes are fulfilled while potentially reducing estate taxes.
