Estate planning isn’t just about getting your affairs in order \u2014 it’s also about protecting your loved ones from legal disputes down the road.<\/p>\n

Attorney Marc C. Paquette said the first rule of estate planning is simple.<\/p>\n

“If it’s not in writing, it could cause a problem later on.”<\/p>\n

Paquette said making sure your wishes are fully documented is critical.<\/p>\n

“Whatever your wishes are, make sure it is fully detailed when you talk to your attorney.”<\/p>\n

But figuring out what type of planning you need \u2014 whether a will or a trust \u2014 can be confusing. Paquette broke down the key difference.<\/p>\n

“When you have a will, you’re basically telling the world, ‘If anything happens to me, this is what I want done with my stuff.’ A trust lets you have a little better control. Anything that’s in a trust can avoid probate, whereas the will does not.”<\/p>\n

Cost can also be a roadblock for many people, which is why ABC15 is partnering with the State Bar of Arizona for a free estate planning phone bank. Legal professionals will be available to answer your estate planning questions by phone at no charge.<\/p>\n
