Georgia Wills Attorney
Atlanta Wills Lawyer
Attorney Angela Kinley understands that the topic of estate planning can be difficult and stressful. She is committed to making the entire process as simple and stress-free as possible. Regardless of the size of your estate, having a will can prevent unforeseen disputes, court costs and administrative expenses. A will allows you to select the person who will handle your estate on your behalf as well as the person who will serve as guardian of your minor children if something unexpected was to happen to you. Attorney Angela Kinley will listen to your wishes and concerns and then assist you creating the appropriate documents to preserve your estate for future generations and protect your family in the event you cannot.
A major concern for people with large estates is the so-called “death penalty tax.” Currently, the estate tax is regulated by the federal government and the threshold limit changes yearly. To ensure that your estate receives every tax advantage possible, it is imperative that you execute a will that contains appropriate language to avoid certain death-related taxes.
In addition to the will, it is important to have the appropriate powers of attorney in place in the event that you become incapacitated unexpectedly. The durable financial power of attorney gives the person named in the document the ability to make financial decisions including, but not limited to, banking transactions, real estate transactions, personal property transactions, access to safe deposit boxes, and the ability to make decisions regarding insurance and taxes. The durable power of attorney for healthcare gives the person named in the document the ability to make medical decisions on behalf of the principal (person granting the power of attorney) and the ability to access medical records and speak with medical professionals regarding the care of the principal. It is important to understand that the durable power of attorney for healthcare is not a living will.
Finally, the living will is a document that has been approved by the state legislature as a document by which a person can indicate his or her wishes in the event that he or she is incapacitated and cannot make medical decisions regarding life-sustaining procedures. If you have strong feelings regarding life-sustaining procedures, whether in favor of their use or against their use, it is important that you have a living will to ensure what your wishes are carried out by any medical provider that may face such a decision on your behalf.
