Estate Law is often considered the way in which we deal with after the passing of a loved one. However, estate law covers several different situations, most importantly, thinking about the future and preparing a plan, within the appropriate legal framework, while you or your loved one are still in good health. Estate law provides the context and guideline on how to handle disbursement of assets and arranging for appropriate care-giving as one grows older.
