Our Attorneys Handle It All From Clearcut Wills to Complex Estate Plans

The foundation of these plans is built on two things nobody likes to think about: death and taxes. It is no wonder why so many people put off estate planning until it is too late. A good number of Americans do not have a will, let alone an estate plan. Fortunately, our estate lawyers assist you with a range of estate planning services, from simple wills and living trusts to estate tax planning, probate, and estate administration.

  • A will can be a relatively simple document that establishes your final wishes regarding the distribution of property and instructions regarding the care of minor children, but a detailed estate plan can go much further than a will.
  • An estate plan deals with the distribution of assets and legacy wishes, but depending on the size of your estate, it can also help your heirs pay considerably less when it comes to taxes, fees, and court costs.

The attorneys at Froerer & Miles understand the intricacies of Utah state law in a range of fields, from family law to real estate. We can ensure your estate plan will comply with all applicable regulations while providing maximum benefits for your loved ones.

Philanthropy: What You Need to Know

Leaving the world a better place for future generations through a one-time or continuing donation to charities that support institutions and ideals that you hold dear can be achieved by naming a charitable organization as a beneficiary in a will or trust. Giving to a charitable organization has a number of benefits, especially for estates that consist of sizable assets. It is not unusual for the owner of a considerable estate to tie philanthropic goals into their estate plan in order to reduce or eliminate capital gains taxes on assets that have appreciated. Philanthropic contributions from your estate can also reduce estate taxes. 

Depending on how and when you would like to begin to contribute to the charities of your choice, you may elect to have one of our Ogden estate attorneys establish a charitable lead trust (CLT). This allows you to establish an income stream for a charity throughout your lifetime, with the remaining balance going to your beneficiaries upon your passing.

A charitable remainder trust (CRT) does the inverse, giving beneficiaries an income stream while the person who establishes the trust is alive, with the remainder going to the charity of choice. Both options provide the benefits of reducing the tax burden.

Regardless of what plan best meets your individual wishes, the law firm of Froerer & Miles in Ogden, UT, can help you with your charitable giving.

Start Planning Now Take Control of Your Future

The complexity of planning a large estate can be overwhelming, but it does not have to be. If a young family or single adult begins planning early, the plan can evolve as needs change and finances grow. Our team of attorneys can help younger clients establish a plan that includes a will, term life insurance, and powers of attorney for assets and health care decisions. Our Ogden, UT, law firm can also provide assistance in the case of estates that may have been neglected for a long period for any number of reasons. Now is a good time to begin planning your estate.

The importance of having a plan in place cannot be overstated. The beauty of estate planning is that changes can be made to reflect the changes in your life, such as a divorce or the birth of another child. Regardless of where your estate planning needs fall, one of our lawyers can help put your estate in order.
