Aspen Legacy Planning (formerly Wesolick Law Firm) is the most professional, caring and knowledgeable...- Toinette B.

My wife and I needed advice on how to proceed with probate. The Aspen Legacy team members were extremely friendly on the phone and in the office, and when we met with Stephen Wesolick, we found him to be very personable, knowledgeable, professional, and focused. After carefully listening to the issues at hand, Stephen laid out a very reasonable plan of action at our one and only meeting, indicating that he thought the whole matter easily could be handled in another state, without the need for his services. Then, after taking the time to telephone the attorney in the other state, he reached out to us to confirm the plan. The bottom line is that Stephen Wesolick provided us with the excellent legal advice we needed, suggesting that we handle the whole matter out of state, rather than spending additional money by combining his services. We found Stephen and his staff to be friendly, highly ethical, and professional, and would certainly recommend them, as well as use their services, ourselves.- Garry
Making Estate Planning a Priority
Estate planning is crucial to securing your family's financial well-being, ensuring that your assets are distributed according to your wishes after your passing. By prioritizing it, you can minimize potential disputes among beneficiaries and avoid the lengthy probate process. When planning for the transition of your estate, various factors must be considered.
A well-structured estate plan also reduces estate taxes and the designation of guardians for minor children, providing peace of mind for you and your loved ones. Furthermore, addressing estate planning early on enables you to make informed decisions and necessary adjustments over time, reflecting changes in personal circumstances or legal regulations. Ultimately, prioritizing estate planning is essential in safeguarding your legacy and providing a stable future for your family.
At Aspen Legacy Planning, we know the difficulties that may arise while making end-of-life decisions. Our seasoned estate planning attorneys are committed to offering transparent guidance, enabling clients to optimally utilize their legal choices.
