Do not Put Off Your Estate Plan (It Could Cost You and Your Loved Ones.)

https://www.amarallaw.com/Blog/do-not-put-off-your-estate-plan-it-could-cost-you-and-your-loved-ones/

How many times have you said to yourself, “I need to get my estate plan done.”

Well you are not alone according to a recent survey on Estate Planning. Although most people agree that estate planning is very important, only about three out of ten people actually have an estate plan.

A recent survey from FreeWill highlights the lack of action among Americans when it comes to estate planning. 69% of respondents agreed that estate planning is at least somewhat crucial, only 26% have taken steps to formulate a plan.

Why does experience matter when you hire a family law attorney? Because very often an experienced attorney has seen something similar to the fact pattern of your case in his or her practice. And that experience can make all the difference in the world. Experience allows an attorney to move a case forward against opposing counsel that they have most likely worked with in the past, and to set reasonable expectations with the court and the judges and other attorneys that they work with or appear before, on a daily basis.

Over 30 years as a family law and estate planning attorney has taught me that no case is the same, and that my relationships with clients and other lawyers are what I value the most which, in turn, allows for a successful outcome at a reasonable cost to the client.

At Amaral & Associates P.C., we focus on divorce and divorce mediation services as well as prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. We also have extensive experience with post-divorce matters including, but not limited to, real estate transfers and estate planning services

How easy is it to renegotiate a prenuptial agreement?

If you signed a prenuptial agreement (prenup) with your spouse and you are no longer sure whether the prenup fits your needs, you could be ready to renegotiate the agreement by preparing a postnuptial agreement. Alternatively, you might be on the receiving end of a request from your spouse to renegotiate the prenup. Asking to renegotiate a prenup may raise trust issues, so the process should be handled with care. You should have an experienced family law attorney to advise you on the process.

New Year, Clean Break: Planning for Divorce in 2024

Are you planning to get a divorce in the New Year? Research has found that you are not alone. Studies have shown that internet searches for “divorce” peak in January.

Divorce filings peak in March and August, suggesting that filing for divorce often happens after the winter and summer holidays. The holiday pause could motivate a desire for a new start in the new year.

Do not Forget About Trusts: A Comprehensive Guide to Including Trusts in Your Estate Plan

We often witness scenes in movies where families gather for the reading of a will, assuming it takes care of everything. While wills are common, trusts, legal arrangements granting individuals control over specific assets, offer a more robust solution for estate protection. This article explores the benefits of trusts, potential risks without one, and the reasons for considering this option.

As we step into a new year, it's time to have those conversations that matter—conversations about your legacy and the well-being of your loved ones. Estate planning, often dismissed as a somber and complex task, is a vital aspect of securing your assets and safeguarding your family's future. Surprisingly, a recent 2023 Caring.com survey reveals that 2 out of 3 Americans remain unprepared for the inevitable.
