Beverly S. Peters & Associates Help Indiana Residents Draft Comprehensive Wills and Make an Estate Plan

The estate planning and management law firm of Beverly S. Peters & Associates in Elkhart, Indiana can help you draft your will as part of a comprehensive estate plan. Whether you have a small-moderate or large estate, it is important to put together an estate plan to save your family from confusion and time spent in probate court.

Attorney Peters and Attorney Corwin-Cripe have decades of experience helping Elkhart-area residents with this important plan for their future. Together, we will go over your wishes for medical decisions, inheritances, guardianships, and anything else that must be dictated in your will. Our extensive experience at drafting wills exactly to our client’s wishes offer them deep peace of mind.

What Information Should Be Included in a Will?

A will is designed to provide guidance for medical personnel and your loved ones should you be unable to communicate your wishes. It is imperative that your attorney is experienced in drafting wills and developing estate plans, so there is absolutely no confusion or ambiguity. When you visit our Indiana estate planning law firm, you can expect to go over the following essential components:

  • List your property and assets
  • Consolidate deeds, titles, etc.
  • Choose beneficiaries
  • List other wishes for your estate
  • Name a power of attorney
  • Draft an advanced care directive
  • Draft a POLST (Physician Orders For Life-Sustaining Treatment)
  • Write letter(s) to family and loved ones

Incapacitation and death are not easy subjects to talk about, especially when it is your own. Devising a will, however, with a trusted attorney is empowering because it legally binds your sentiments and allows your family to focus on the emotional healing, instead of arguing about what you may or may not have wanted. Speaking with a knowledgeable estate planning attorney is perhaps the most important thing you could do as an adult and family member. Contact our Elkhart, Indiana estate planning law firm to get started on your comprehensive will today.
