Maryland Estate Planning Attorney
When people hear the word “estate”, they think of millionaires and billionaires. The notion that only wealthy individuals have estates is not accurate. To have an estate, an individual must simply have an ownership interest in property. Thus, your car, home, bank accounts, retirement accounts, artwork, home furnishings, any trusts you are a beneficiary of, and the like are all considered your property and are included in your estate. If you choose not to create a unique customized estate plan or simply feel you do not need a plan because “you do not own very much”, you need to be aware that the state will direct distribution of your assets in accordance with statute rather than your wishes.
To this end, creating an estate plan is very important regardless of the value of your assets. There are many complex factors to consider when creating an estate plan that can include everything from planning for minor children, planning for a special needs child, owning a business, potential tax concerns, to avoiding probate or addressing potential conflicts among your intended beneficiaries.
