Do I need an estate plan?

We hear this question frequently from our clients, friends, and neighbors. Estate planning is not reserved for the wealthy or the elderly. Regardless of the size of your estate or your stage in life, thoughtful estate planning is one of the most meaningful steps you can take to provide for your loved ones.

An estate plan provides peace of mind by ensuring your assets are protected, plans are in place in the event you become ill, and your property is passed down according to your wishes. Our team is dedicated to providing clear guidance, sound counsel, and individualized attention at every stage of the planning process.

We offer the following services:

  • Wills
  • Revocable Living Trusts
  • Irrevocable Trusts
  • Asset-Protection Trusts
  • Powers of Attorney
  • Health Care Directives
  • Trust Funding

Estate planning is essential

Estate planning is not just for the wealthy. Families with modest assets may be more impacted by the loss of time and funds due to poor planning. In California, estates valued at around $200,000 must go through the probate process. In Nevada, the probate requirements start at $150,000. If your assets meet this minimum threshold, you need an estate plan.

High West Law was incredibly helpful when I had questions about entity formation. They walked me through my options clearly and professionally, and what really impressed me was how promptly they followed up afterward. It’s clear they care about their clients and take the time to make sure everything is handled properly. Highly recommended.
