Windsor, Colorado, Lawyers Drafting Wills and Trusts
Attorneys at Lind, Lawrence & Ottenhoff LLP serve clients by helping them draft, finalize and properly sign their Colorado wills and trusts.
Our estate planning lawyers place special attention on partnering with you to truly understand your needs. We know that careful attention to detail is needed to make sure that your will or trust will work properly, so we handle our work for you with the focus and attention it deserves.
We often start by making sure our clients understand the difference between Colorado wills and trusts:
- Wills: A will is what most people think of when they talk of their "last will and testament." It is a legal document that reflects what you want to happen to your assets after your death. A properly drawn will is one way to legally make sure that, once you pass, your assets are distributed according to your wishes.
- Trusts: A trust is an interest in property, like money or real estate, that is held by a special caretaker called a trustee for the benefit of someone else. Often, creation of a trust goes hand-in-hand with creation of a will. This is especially true when property to be distributed will go to someone too young to handle it responsibly.
Proper preparation of wills and trusts can ensure that your property goes to your chosen loved ones. Through skilled estate planning and the use of trusts and life insurance, estate taxes can be reduced — in some cases even eliminated.
