Brian Murphy Law is among the top estate planning lawyers serving eastern Connecticut. Statistics are surprising when it comes to the number of couples who have neglected to prepare a will or even bring up the subject with their lawyer, spouse or partner. According to recent statistics, more than half of Americans have not yet drafted a will, and half of them have made any arrangements for their elder care. Are you among the 95% of Americans that have not made an estate plan? If you feel you just haven’t enough financial know-how to create an estate plan on your own, it’s time to call a professional – call attorney Brian Murphy.

Ask yourself this: Will your assets benefit the people you care about for years to come? Will they support future generations of your family? Or will your assets diminish through probate fees, taxes, health care costs and other losses? When you sit down to discuss your estate planning needs, you will be sitting down with a knowledgeable professional who keeps your best interests in mind. Attorney Brian Murphy will listen to you carefully as you describe your family and financial situation, and what you would like to accomplish with your estate plans. Then our team will create the necessary documents needed to achieve your goals.

Estate Planning isn’t just for retired or the wealthy. Failure to make an estate plan now may put your estate into the hands of the court and your dependent children and spouse (or partner) at risk. By creating a will or trust, you ensure your assets are properly distributed to your family or loved ones after you die. We know this can be an uncomfortable topic, but it is an important one. Estate planning is a way to ensure your family will be taken care after your passing. For couples who live together, own property together, and/or have children together who may not be married to each other, the laws and tax system may not offer the same protections as it offers those who are married. Without a will or living trust, the court will make the decisions on who gets what and when. Don’t risk the well being and safety of your family should you meet an untimely death.
