Legal Documents Preparation
LAST WILL & TESTAMENT
Around 70% of Americans still don’t have last will and testament. When one does not have a valid will, the State will decide what happens to the interest of someone dying ‘intestate” (without a will). Some critical issues such as distribution timing, guardianship of minor children or pets are now left in state hands to decide. A careful planing of our family and personal goals can give us peace of mind.
Whenever you need to change, revoke or replace your Will, I can assist you in such matter. I take my clients personally and understand the importance of the decision to prepare estate planing. Ask me about My Life Package, a signature product by Anthem Paralegal that contains all the documents needed to protect yourself , your family and your assets. In addition, I prepare Small Estate Transfers, Guardianship and Informal Probate documents.
LIVING TRUST
Living Trust is the document used to place your personal assets in Trust, a contract form that transfers the assets from you to another upon meeting the decided terms by you. It is primarily used for real estate and valuables, such as precious stones, art collections, or any other items that you would like to avoid probate and transfer immediately to your beneficiary (ies). The other value of creating a Living Trust is the privacy of your assets as they are automatically transferred into trust. Trust does not need to be recorded. The most popular form is Revocable Trust that can be changed at any time, if your situation changes. Once the Trustor (the owner of the trust) is deceased, trust becomes irrevocable, unless there is a provision to transfer the power of Trustor to a spouse. This type of trust is also known as Family Trust.
REAL ESTATE & BUSINESS CONTRACTS
Contract is a written or spoken agreement, especially one concerning employment, sales, or tenancy, that is intended to be enforceable by law. Some contracts have to be in writing to become enforceable. There are certain requirements for a contract to be valid. I can prepare any written agreement for you and the other party, including promissory notes, rental agreements, bill of sale, personal agreement etc. It is often a good idea to think of the terms and how you would like to protect your tangible and intangible assets, as well as make sure that you preserve your peace of mind with signing a legally binding agreement.
