Don't Put Off Thinking About the Future
If you are like most individuals, you don't want to think about your own death. This aversion is one of the reasons people put off making their wills. They simply don't want to deal with the issue.
At the Law Offices of William Roberge, in Rockville, Maryland, we help people understand the benefits of making a will. We listen to their concerns and walk them through the process. Writing a will need not be intimidating; in fact, it can provide people with a great sense of security because they know that their families will be secure and their assets will be distributed as they wish. To make an appointment for your free initial consultation and begin the process of drafting your will, call us at 888-335-2340 or complete our contact form.
Do You Know the Benefits of Making a Will?
There are many reasons to make a will and few reasons to avoid the process. Writing a will is an opportunity for an individual to control how his or her assets will be transferred. It can also name guardians for minor children in the event of their parents' deaths. The transfer of assets and the protection of minor and special needs children will occur as planned. Our lawyer uses a will to achieve a client's goals in a way that is consistent with his or her needs and circumstances. Although slightly more complex, many wills also contain trusts. Our law firm will draft the right documents for each personal situation.
What Happens When You Visit Our Rockville Office
When you schedule your initial consultation about writing your will, we will send you our questionnaire so you can tell us about your personal and financial situation. This means that when you visit our office, we will be ready to help you and will not spend unnecessary time asking you basic questions — our attorney will already have a foundational understanding of your circumstances.
We will be sure to address circumstances that may not be clear from the completed questionnaire — everyone's life is different and we want to be sure that you provide for family members with special needs, chronic illness or other matters. We also help you understand and deal with lifetime issues such as these:
- Durable powers of attorney should you become unable to act or decide about financial and personal issues by yourself
- Health-care proxies that identify the person who will make decisions about your health care should you be unable to do so (sometimes called living wills in other states)
- Business succession planning if you own a business
- Naming of a personal guardian if you don't complete a durable power of attorney
It's Never Too Late to Make a Will
Some people think that because they are elderly or their children are grown, they don't need to bother to make a will. Mr. Roberge will use your free initial consultation to talk with you and discuss the benefits of making a will, whatever your age. It is a cost-effective way of ensuring that your wishes are carried out. To learn more, contact the Law Offices of William Roberge for your no-obligation appointment.
