Divorce and estate planning

Divorce is often a complicated process, and after having dealt with all of the issues of their divorce, most people forget to take the very important step of updating their last will and testament or estate plan to reflect the changes in their family. Don't forget to talk to one of our attorneys about having your estate planning documents updated as we support you through your divorce.  If you don't have a last will and testament or estate plan, one of our attorneys will be happy to assist you in preparing one to protect your family and your property.

Estate planning for non-traditional families

Over the past decade, non-traditional families have become more prevalent in American society. Without proper planning, the death of a person in a non-traditional family can be devastating to his or her partner and family. Since the law does not provide protection to partners that are not married, failing to have an estate plan, or relying upon a Will, Joint Tenancy or Tenancy in Common as an estate plan, may be tantamount to giving up control of one's estate and decision-making authority in times of incapacitation or death.

For non-traditional families, the need for an estate plan is critical in case of an accident or illness that renders one partner incapable of making decisions or managing his or her affairs. Without a proper estate plan, the other partner could be legally precluded from having any role in the decision-making regarding his/her partner's care, managing his or her affairs or even having access to the incapacitated partner in the hospital, rest home or other facility.

Haas & Associates, P.A. is committed to providing for all of the major legal needs of today's families.  It is our belief that having a carefully executed estate plan is a critical step in preserving an individual's wealth, respecting his/her wishes and for facilitating a partner's participation in one’s healthcare in the event of a major illness or accident.
