Who Needs an Estate Plan in Arkansas?
There is a common misconception that estate planning is something reserved only for the Super wealthy or those who are elderly. This is not so. If you are over the age of 18 and living in Arkansas, you should consider the many benefits of creating a thorough estate plan to represent your interests and simplify matters for your loved ones after your death.
Estate plans ensure that your final wishes are carried out and that designated beneficiaries receive the intended estate assets in probate court transactions. Additionally, an estate plan can provide legal guidance and clear instructions for clients left incapacitated due to severe illness or injuries, including providing your wishes for end-of-life care.
Estate plans are especially essential for young parents, parents of special needs children, married couples, farmers, business owners, and seniors interested in long-term care and Medicaid planning. To learn more about the many benefits of creating an estate plan, please contact our Arkansas law firm today.

How Can an Estate Planning Attorney Help You Through the Difficult Times of the Probate Process?
The probate process begins after the death of the estate holder. After someone passes away, unless they have planned their estate using a revocable living trust, their estate goes through probate, at which point the estate administrator must settle debts, locate beneficiaries, pay taxes, and distribute remaining assets to named beneficiaries and heirs.
This can be a difficult time for many, especially as you are recently grieving the loss of a loved one. You should not have to go through the probate court process on your own. An attorney from our Pulaski County law firm would be proud to provide legal guidance to you and your family members throughout the probate process. Remember, you don’t have to go through this alone.
Can an Estate Planning Lawyer Provide Legal Assistance for Clients Involved in Trust Administration?
Creating different types of trusts has many benefits, including the potential to avoid probate. However, creating a trust can be difficult, and managing it as a trustee can be a daunting challenge.
Our law firm would be proud to provide legal advice to trustees involved in trust administration. Trustees have many legal duties and obligations, and we can help you meet all of those responsibilities.
