Why Hiring an Estate Planning Attorney Is Crucial
Protecting and preserving your assets (both business and personal) is critical. Everyone’s estate planning needs are unique; that is where we come in. Our estate planning team can create a custom estate plan that helps you secure the financial legacy you wish to leave.
For example, we can draft your last will and testament, set up a trust (simple or complex), and create a plan to minimize estate and inheritance taxes. Additionally, after you pass away, we can assist the executor of your will in navigating the probate process.
Below are just some of the benefits of creating an estate plan:
- Protect minor children. You can appoint a guardian, and in the event that you and their other parent pass away, they will be cared for by the person you choose.
- Support your beneficiaries. Even if you do not have substantial assets, designating assets in an estate plan can keep things from becoming unpleasant between family members.
- Preserve your wealth. A properly executed estate plan can ensure that your assets are protected and passed on to your loved ones.
- Plan for incapacity. If you cannot make decisions independently, a power of attorney designation can ensure your healthcare and financial wishes are respected.
- Provide to charities. If there are specific causes you are committed to supporting, you can also leave some of your assets behind to any charitable causes of your choosing.
The future is uncertain, but you can still plan for it and protect your loved ones.

Commonly Asked Questions
What should I consider when creating an estate plan?
When creating an estate plan, consider your assets, the needs of your beneficiaries, potential tax implications, and whether you need to appoint guardians for minor children. It's also important to think about your healthcare wishes in case of incapacity.
How frequently should I revisit my estate plan?
It’s recommended to assess your estate plan every few years or after experiencing significant life events, such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or notable financial changes. This ensures that your plan stays up-to-date and continues to meet your needs.
Is it possible to create an estate plan without legal assistance?
Although you can draft an estate plan on your own using online tools or templates, it is strongly advised to seek the counsel of an attorney. Professional legal support can help avoid mistakes and ensure that your documents are in compliance with Nevada's legal requirements.
What occurs if I pass away without an estate plan?
If you die intestate (without an estate plan), Nevada’s default intestacy laws will determine how your assets are distributed. This might not reflect your preferences and could cause conflicts among your family members.
What responsibilities does an executor have in an estate plan?
An executor is tasked with overseeing the administration of your estate after your passing. Their duties include settling any outstanding debts and taxes, distributing assets according to your will, and navigating the probate process. It’s crucial to appoint someone who is reliable and capable of managing these responsibilities.
How can I make sure my healthcare wishes are honored?
To ensure that your medical preferences are followed, consider drafting a living will and appointing a healthcare power of attorney. These documents specify your healthcare directives and designate a trusted individual to make medical decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so.
