Do I need a Will if I don’t own much?

Yes. A Will isn’t just about money—it’s about making sure your belongings, guardianship decisions, and final wishes are clearly documented. Even a simple Will can make a big difference for your family.

What’s the difference between a Will and a Trust?

A Will outlines your wishes and goes through probate court. A Trust can help avoid probate, offer more control over how assets are distributed, and provide added privacy and protection. We’ll help you decide what’s right for your situation.

What are Powers of Attorney and why are they important?

Powers of Attorney allow someone you trust to make financial, legal, or healthcare decisions if you’re unable to do so. They’re essential for making sure someone can act on your behalf when needed.

Is it worth using an attorney to put together my estate plan?

Absolutely. Online templates might seem convenient, but they often miss key details—especially when it comes to state-specific laws, family dynamics, or long-term protection. Working with an attorney ensures your plan is legally sound, tailored to your goals, and built to avoid future complications. At Piland Legal, LLC, we guide you through every step with clarity and care, so your legacy isn’t left to chance.

How often should I update my estate plan?

It’s a good idea to review your plan every few years or after major life changes—like marriage, having children, moving states, or changes in the law.
