Estate Planning

Do you have a will? Creating one enables you to make key decisions about your dependents, assets, and needs now while you can communicate them. If you have minor children, a will can help you decide who would care for them if something happens to you. Even if you do not own a significantly large estate, the decision to create a will now makes it far easier for your family to manage the legal process later.

Let Schweighart Law, P.C. help you. We will work closely with you to better understand your needs. We will then offer guidance and support to ensure you know what your rights are and how to make your wishes a reality. Set up a consultation to get started today.

Trusts can be a vital part of the estate planning process. They provide you with an opportunity to make decisions on how your assets will be disbursed after your death.

Perhaps you want to find a way to minimize the risk of taxation during probate.

At Schweighart Law, P.C., we work closely with our clients to ensure we understand their goals and they understand their options for accomplishing those goals. We can craft a trust for you that protects you and your family in the way that is most important to you.
