Frequently Asked Questions
What does an estate planning attorney in Dover do?
An estate planning attorney helps you draft legal documents like wills, trusts, and healthcare directives. They ensure your assets pass to heirs according to Delaware law and minimize taxes and court involvement.
Do I need a will in Delaware if I have a trust?
Yes, a pour-over will is often used with a trust in Delaware to catch any assets not transferred into the trust. Without a will, those assets may go through Delaware probate according to intestacy laws.
What is Delaware law on advance healthcare directives?
Delaware allows you to create an advance healthcare directive under Title 16 of the Delaware Code. This document lets you name an agent to make medical decisions if you cannot, and it includes living will provisions.
