Straight answers, no legalese.

Almost certainly yes. An estate plan isn't only about money — it names guardians for your children, chooses who makes medical and financial decisions if you can't, and spares your family from court. Even a modest estate benefits from a will and a few key directives.

A will takes effect after you pass and generally goes through probate, a public court process. A revocable living trust takes effect while you're alive, can let your estate avoid probate, stays private, and lets a successor trustee step in if you're incapacitated. Many plans use both.

Common tools include a properly funded revocable living trust, beneficiary designations on accounts, and joint titling. Nevada also offers simplified procedures for smaller estates. The right mix depends on your assets — we'll help you choose.

Review it every three to five years, and after major life events — marriage, divorce, a new child or grandchild, a death, a big change in assets, or a move to or from Nevada.

It's a document naming someone you trust to handle your finances if you become unable to. "Durable" means it stays in effect even if you're incapacitated — which is exactly when it matters most.

It records your wishes about medical treatment and life support, and a healthcare power of attorney names someone to make medical decisions for you. Together they keep those decisions in trusted hands and out of court.

Probate is the court-supervised process of validating a will, paying debts and taxes, and distributing what's left. In Nevada it can take several months to over a year depending on the estate's size and complexity.

Secure important documents, don't distribute or sell assets yet, and reach out for guidance before deadlines start running. We'll help you understand whether full probate, a summary procedure, or a small-estate set-aside applies.

You have legal responsibilities to beneficiaries: protecting assets, keeping records, paying valid debts, filing required notices, and distributing correctly. Mistakes can create personal liability — we help you do it right.
