The Gilliford Law Firm
Kansas Living Wills Attorney
A will is a cost-effective, secure means for ensuring your family's financial future is taken care of after you're gone. Understanding how to make the most of a will requires a thorough knowledge of the law, the tax code, and sound financial planning. At The Gilliford Law Firm we consult accountants and tax experts in creating wills custom-fitted to meet the financial goals of our clients. Our estate planning lawyers review investment portfolios, retirement plans, and the value of other assets in order to identify legal means for protecting them against certain kinds of taxes available through a will.

What Happens When You Don't Have a Will
Without a will, family members are often left to face numerous and potentially expensive legal problems. First, if disease or an accident leaves you incapacitated you may be left in a vegetative state indefinitely. Secondly, without a will your estate will enter probate where all your debts and assets will have to be determined to pay off creditors. Any remaining property or money can then be allocated, depending on who lays claim to what. Disputes regarding who gets what and how much must then be settled through the courts, creating additional stress and expense for your family.
Protecting Your Business
It's important for small business owners to include instructions regarding various business-related matters in their will. A will ensures your spouse will be provided for from business proceeds, preserves continuity of business operations, and transfers ownership of stocks and intellectual property to your family.
