COMPREHENSIVE ESTATE PLANNING & WILLS FOR CLIENTS ACROSS GYMPIE
COMPREHENSIVE PLANS FOR YOUR ESTATE
If you’re like most people, you probably don’t think much about what would happen to your assets if you passed away. Dealing with your estate and will is often something that’s not at the forefront, but without a will, your estate isn’t planned should you pass away. However, it’s important to have a comprehensive plan in place in case of any eventuality. Your Will may also give your loved one’s piece of mind when dealing with your death and will enable them to make choices surrounding your estate.
At Neilson Stanton & Parkinson, we specialise in estate planning and law. We can help you put together a plan that will ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes, no matter what happens. We can help you draft wills, trusts, and other legal documents that will protect your assets and provide for your loved ones in the event of your death or incapacitation. We understand that thinking about these things can be difficult, but we want to help make the process as easy and stress-free as possible. We’ll work with you to create a plan that considers all of your assets and liabilities, as well as your personal and financial goals.

POWER OF ATTORNEY, PROBATE, LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION, & PLANNING & WHAT THEY MEAN FOR YOU
There are a lot of legal terms thrown around when it comes to estate planning and wills. It can be challenging to understand what they all mean and even more daunting to try and navigate the legal process on your own. Power of attorney, probates, letters of administration, and planning are all terms you need to be familiar with if you want to ensure that your estate is handled in the way you want it to be.
Here’s a brief overview of each one:
- Power of Attorney:
This legal document gives somebody else the authority to act on your behalf. This can be important if you become incapacitated and are
unable to make decisions for yourself.
- Probate:
After somebody dies, their estate needs to go through a legal process called probate. This ensures that any debts are paid off, and the assets are distributed according to the wishes laid out in the will.
- Letters of Administration:
If there is no will, or if the will is invalid, letters of administration can be issued. This gives somebody the legal authority to administer the estate.
- Planning:
Estate planning is the process of making sure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes after you die. This can include drafting a will, setting up trusts, or gifting assets during your lifetime.
Understanding these terms is an essential part of estate planning. If you’re unsure where to start, give our team a call, we’d be happy to schedule an initial consultation to walk you through our estate planning and will services.
