An estate planning attorney can help you draft official documents that can’t be disputed after you’re gone. A will is vital if you have young children, and you also need power of attorney for potential healthcare needs and financial matters.
How can I be sure my kids get the property and assets that mean the most to them? Confer with your attorney, but giving much of your estate away while you are alive is one answer. Have your children go through your home and indicate what means most to them. If there are disagreements, have the kids work those out. Then, give those items away now. The kids would have gotten them anyway, and the value of your estate is now considerably lower, which is a good thing tax-wise.
