Why Choose Bineham & Gillen For Your Will?

Choosing the right attorney to assist with your will is crucial. At Bineham & Gillen, our attorneys specialize in creating personalized and legally sound wills tailored to your specific needs and circumstances.

Your Source For A Simple Will

Creating a will is essential, regardless of your age or the size of your estate. A simple will outlines how your assets will be distributed and appoints guardians for minor children, ensuring their care according to your wishes.

Bineham & Gillen simplifies the process, guiding you through each step with personalized attention. We help you protect your assets and provide for your loved ones, offering peace of mind that your wishes will be carried out as intended.

What Is A Pour-Over Will?

When planning your estate with trusts to protect and manage your assets, a pour-over will play a crucial role. It ensures that any assets not already transferred into your trust during your lifetime are moved into the trust upon your death.

This process guarantees comprehensive asset protection and management according to your overall estate plan. Our team specializes in seamlessly integrating pour-over wills into your estate planning strategy, ensuring all assets are accounted for and managed as intended.

Benefits Of Having A Will

Making a will ensures your belongings go to the right people and gives you and your family peace of mind. A will offers many benefits, including:

  • Asset distribution — Ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes.
  • Guardianship — Appoint guardians for minor children to ensure their care.
  • Dispute prevention — Minimize potential disputes among heirs by clearly outlining your intentions.
  • Peace of mind — Provide clarity and peace of mind for your loved ones during a difficult time.

A well-drafted will can also address specific concerns, such as charitable contributions or special needs trusts, ensuring your legacy reflects your values and priorities.

Common Misconceptions About Wills

Several common misconceptions about wills can discourage individuals from creating one. Don’t fall prey to misinformation, such as:

  • Asset size — You don’t need significant assets to benefit from a will.
  • Age — Wills are important regardless of age or life stage.
  • Complexity — Creating a will with the guidance of an experienced attorney ensures the process is straightforward and legally compliant.

Correcting these misunderstandings highlights how estate planning can ensure your wishes are honored.

Drafting a valid will involves meeting specific legal requirements, which can vary by state. Bineham & Gillen ensures your will complies with all legal standards and addresses key considerations, such as:

  • Executor selection — Choosing a trusted individual to administer your estate
  • Updates and revisions — Regularly updating your will to reflect changes in circumstances or preferences
