PITTSFIELD â Regardless of age, position in life or financial success, a well-tailored estate plan is invaluable to yourself and your heirs after you pass.
Often, when people think of end-of-life planning, the first thing that comes to mind is a will, or maybe a trust fund. While these documents are helpful in making sure your assets are left to the correct people, they donât do much on their own to help ease the process of settling your estate or protecting your assets for your loved ones. They also donât allow for anyone to help you during your life in the event of incapacity. The process of settling an estate via Probate Court can be very time-consuming and also expensive for your loved ones, only adding to the difficulties caused by grieving the death of a friend or family member.
