Creating An Estate Plan That Works For You
Estate planning puts not only your mind at ease but also those of your loved ones.

Raymonda Chakhtoura, PLLC, will work with you to create a plan uniquely tailored to your goals and needs.
Attorney Raymonda Chakhtoura will also work with you to help you decide whether to have a will or trust, whether you need a financial and medical power of attorneys. Her knowledge of how the various parts of estate planning work together will ensure that the plan she creates for you is what you need and what will work for your family.
What are Some of the Documents That Make Up An Estate Plan?
Even though your estate plan should be unique to you, the documents created and drafted are often similar from plan to plan. These documents include:
- Power of attorney
- Advance health care directive/Living Will
- Will/Pour Over Will
- Revocable Living Trust
- Irrevocable Trust
- Guardianship and trust provisions in Will or Trust
Attorney Chakhtoura will walk you through the benefits of each of these documents to determine which ones should make up your plan. She will help you update documents as needed after life events such as a divorce, birth or death. Not updating your documents may mean an asset goes to someone who is either unable to receive it or you no longer wish for them to receive it.

Issues can come up with Wills and Trusts. Wills have to be probated and sometimes family does not agree with the Will distribution of a deceased family member. So there is litigation in the probate of the Will or the administration of a Trust.
