Estate planning means making decisions while you are alive and well about what will happen when you are no longer alive (or no longer well). It also means finding ways to make those decisions legally binding, and making sure those decisions make sense.

The most important thing with estate planning is to make sure it's done right. There are many legal technicalities and traps for the unwary, and people who try to plan without the help of an attorney often make serious errors which can go unrecognized until it's too late. For most folks, what they spend on an estate planning attorney is nothing compared to what they save.

A will is an easy way to tell the probate court and your executor who should get your property when you have died. If done right, it is an effective and legally binding way to set the rules for your estate.

However, a good will-based estate plan may never have to bring the will to court. Through joint ownership, beneficiary designations, planned gifting, and transfer on death arrangements, property can pass without the hassle and expense of probate.

At Wise Cat, we look at your individual situation to help you determine the easiest, most cost‐effective way to pass your property according to your wishes.

A trust is much more than a substitute for a will. Trusts can also provide care for family members, ensure the orderly transition of family businesses, and carry out complex long-term goals such as supporting charities and caring for the pets you leave behind.

When you create a trust for estate planning, you can often prevent the delays and expense of court proceedings after you pass away. Just as importantly, you can provide for the sensible management of your property both before and after your death.

Wise Cat is dedicated to helping you achieve all of your goals in ways that are effective, ironclad, and responsive to an unknown future. Let us help you to help them.
