Trusts and Estates

• Estate Planning
  Estate planning involves putting important legal documents in place to provide for distribution of your estate after you pass away and to protect yourself and your family in the event of contingencies that may occur during your life. Probate is a court-supervised process for administering an estate and distributing the assets of a person after their death. Our experienced attorneys at Sloan Law Firm provide comprehensive estate planning and probate legal services for individuals and families throughout the State of Kansas.
• Wills
  A Last Will and Testament, commonly referred to as a Will, is part of virtually every estate plan. A Will can serve different purposes, depending on the structure of the overall estate plan. However, contrary to what some people think, a Will is not a complete estate plan in any situation.
• Trusts
  An individual can also create a testamentary trust, which is a trust that takes effect on the grantor’s death. While a testamentary trust may not have all the same benefits as a living trust, it can achieve other important goals. For example, a properly drafted testamentary trust can protect a family’s financial legacy, by controlling distribution of property to keep the assets in the family or preventing a financially irresponsible beneficiary from wasting inherited assets.
• Power of Attorney
  Durable powers of attorney and an advance medical directive are essential parts of any estate plan. In your durable financial power of attorney, you designate an individual as your agent (or attorney-in-fact) to manage your finances in the event you become incapacitated temporarily or permanently. Your durable health care power of attorney designates a person as your agent to make medical and health care decisions for you in the event of incapacity.
• Probate

Finance Law

If you become aware of major tax law legislation at the federal or state level, you should check with your estate planning lawyer to make sure your estate plan reflects any changes that impact it.
