Read on to learn more about estate planning in Georgia and the services Claiborne | Fox | Bradley | Goldman can offer to ensure your family’s needs are met.
What is estate planning?
Estate planning allows parents to make important decisions about the future of their children and their property. Estate plans often include:
- advance directives for healthcare, which explain your wishes in the event that you are unable to make or communicate medical decisions.
- standby guardianships, which designate a legal guardian for your child in the event that you are unable to care for them.
- co-parenting agreements, which protect the children and assets of unmarried couples.
- financial documents, which establish a trust or conservator to manage your finances and allow your children to access money in disbursements.
- and more.
In addition to these basic estate planning services, Claiborne | Fox | Bradley | Goldman provides estate planning strategies and services tailored to meet the unique needs of your family. We understand the needs of families built through adoption and assisted reproductive technologies. You may face particular estate planning needs that are not common to all families, such as issues regarding frozen eggs and embryos, extended birth families, and clarity of legal parentage.
