[LITTLETON, 10/23/2017] - Miller & Steiert, P.C. helps individuals plan the distribution and management of their assets through estate planning. The firm offers its assistance in drafting last wills and testaments, living wills, trusts, asset protection, as well as probate litigation in Colorado.

Distribution of Assets upon Death

A last will and testament is necessary to ensure a smooth and peaceful distribution of wealth upon a person’s death. Without it, the state gains the power to distribute the assets according to intestate succession laws. People whom you didn’t plan to leave anything to could then become your heirs.

Estate management under the supervision of experienced lawyers ensures their validity and discourages heirs from contesting the will during probate.
Furthermore, a will can shorten the probate process in as little as one day.

Transfer of Authority

Estate planning is not just about playing it safe in case of death but also in case of mental or physical incapacity to make personal decisions. This may happen if a person becomes severely ill or falls into a coma. In these situations, a power of attorney or living will may come into effect. These allow trusted individuals to make financial decisions and doctors to administer treatments according to the person’s wishes.
