Frequently Asked Questions
What is estate planning?
Estate planning is the process of arranging how your assets will be managed and distributed upon your death. It can range from straightforward plans for those with limited assets and beneficiaries to more complex strategies for larger estates.
What happens if I die without a will in Colorado?
Dying without a will means your assets will be distributed according to Colorado's intestacy laws, which may not align with your personal wishes.
Do I need a lawyer to write my will?
While not legally required, having a lawyer draft your will ensures it meets all legal standards and reduces the risk of challenges or invalidation.
What is the difference between a will and a revocable trust?
A will outlines how your assets will be distributed after your death and goes through probate, while a revocable trust allows you to transfer assets during your lifetime, avoid probate, and maintain control over them while you're alive.
