SKILLFUL ESTATE PLANNING CAN PROTECT YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES
Contemplating illness, injury and death falls low on most people’s list of preferred activities. However, the importance of having a well-thought-out plan regarding what will occur in the event of one’s death or incapacity cannot be overstated. Skillful planning can save on estate taxes, avoid costly, stressful litigation and ensure that you and/or your loved ones receive proper care in the event of illness or injury.
The experienced lawyers at Spiteri & Ursulak LLP take the stress out of estate planning by working closely with our clients so that we understand their needs and are able to provide them with the solid legal advice they need to make the best possible decisions for themselves and their loved ones.
OUR WILLS AND ESTATE LAWYERS ASSIST EXECUTORS TO ADMINISTER WILLS AND AVOID LIABILITY
Acting as an executor or administrator of a will is a big responsibility. Among other things, you must:
determine whether you are required to apply to the court for an Application for Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee (commonly referred to as probate);
ensure that the debts of the estate are paid prior to distributing the assets; and
ensure you always act in the best interest of any beneficiaries of the will.
As an executor, you may find yourself overwhelmed by the myriad tasks you are being asked to undertake and confused by the legal processes involved. Moreover, it is important to realize that you could be held personally liable for any mistakes you make regarding the use or distribution of estate assets.
The experienced lawyers at Spiteri & Ursulak LLP can help you navigate the complex estate administration process and protect you against liability.
