If I don't set up an estate plan, does the government do it for me?
Yes, the government will intervene if you don't have an estate plan, managing your estate through a process known as "Intestate Probate." This involves government oversight where your estate's affairs, such as settling bills and distributing assets, are handled through court processes that are open to public scrutiny. Lacking a personal estate plan means your family can face a public and bureaucratic process that could drag on.
 
What happens to my minor children if I am no longer there to care for them?
In the absence of any specified wishes in your will, the state will decide who will take care of your children. To prevent this, it's advisable to nominate a guardian in your will. Moreover, setting up a trust can ensure that funds are available for your children's needs, such as education and maintenance, under the management of a trustee until they are old enough to manage these resources themselves.
 
What should unmarried partners consider for handling emergencies?
Unmarried partners should legally prepare for emergencies by drafting documents like powers of attorney and health care directives. These documents are crucial because they grant you the authority to act on your partner's behalf in medical or financial emergencies, a right not automatically granted to partners who are not married. Having these documents in place ensures that you can make important decisions without facing legal barriers during critical moments.

Atlanta living trust lawyer - Trace Brooks Law - (404) 492-9559

At Trace Brooks Law in Atlanta, Georgia, our firm is dedicated to providing insightful and compassionate estate planning advice. We pride ourselves on creating legal solutions, such as living trust creation, that are as unique as the clients we serve, helping them through the estate planning process with care and diligence.
 
What assets are not included in a living trust?
Assets with named beneficiaries, such as retirement accounts and insurance policies, as well as certain bank accounts with transfer-on-death designations, usually do not need to be placed in a living trust.
 
Do I need a Pour Over Will if I already have a Living Trust?
A Pour Over Will is an important safeguard when you have a Living Trust. It acts to include any assets that might not be part of the trust at the time of your passing, directing them into the trust and ensuring your estate is comprehensively managed according to your wishes.
 
Do I lose ownership of assets in a living trust?
Creating a Living Trust does not affect your control over your property. You can continue to manage your assets as you see fit, with the flexibility to make any necessary changes to the trust. It's only at your passing that the trust terms become permanent, reflecting your intentions.
