A BLUEPRINT FOR YOUR FUTUREWills and Trusts
Navigating the complexities of your estate’s future begins with the foundational documents: wills and trusts. A will, often seen as the cornerstone of any estate plan, articulates your wishes regarding the distribution of your assets after your demise. But there’s more to effective estate planning than just a will. Trusts, in their various forms, can offer more nuanced control over asset distribution, potential tax benefits, and protection against probate delays. Together, these instruments work in harmony to ensure that your legacy is preserved, and your loved ones are cared for in the manner you deem fit. At Haskell & Dyer, we guide you through every step, ensuring that your will and trust truly reflect your vision for the future.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes estate planning in Maryland unique compared to other states?
In Maryland, estate planning is governed by specific state laws that can differ from those in other jurisdictions. For instance, Maryland has both an estate tax and an inheritance tax, whereas many states have one or neither. Additionally, Maryland has particular rules about who can serve as a personal representative, witness requirements for wills, and the nuances associated with trusts and property distribution. At Haskell & Dyer, we have an in-depth understanding of Maryland’s unique estate planning landscape, ensuring your plan is compliant and optimized for your specific needs.
