Estate planning is a simple, yet often overlooked way to avoid probate, save estate taxes and clarify how you want your assets distributed after you die. An estate plan, drawn up by a lawyer at Gast & McClellan, will provide for your family’s financial needs, outline your specific wishes and minimize the federal estate and state inheritance taxes you are required to pay. It will conserve your assets before and after death, distribute property according to your wishes, and provide for the liquidation of your estate assets to settle the estate.
At the Law Offices of William E. Gast, our estate-planning specialists are some of the finest attorneys in all of Nebraska . We understand the intricacies of estate planning and will sit down with clients individually to assess their needs, objectives and the tax consequences of their plan. Clients are encouraged to include their accountant, investment advisor and insurance advisor to ensure the estate plan meets all of their needs.
