Estate Planning

What is estate planning? 

The overall planning of a person's wealth is estate planning. All of the assets owned or controlled by a decedent and the debts that were the responsibility of the decedent at the time of deceased's death are included in estate planning. Estate planning includes the preparation of a will and the planning for taxes after the individual's death. In order to meet a person's goals with respect to preparing for incapacity and death, numerous factors such as financial, estate law, insurance, investment, and tax implications must be taken into consideration..

What type of estate planning do I need? 

Estate planning is tailored to the circumstances in each individual's situation. Usually, estate planning includes: creation of a will; limiting estate taxes by setting up trust accounts in the name of beneficiaries; appointing a guardian for living dependents; appointing an executor of the estate to oversee the terms of the will; making funeral arrangements; and establishment of annual gifting to reduce the taxable estate.


North Dakota (ND) Power of Attorney Documents

In North Dakota, a Power of Attorney document is a legal form that allows someone (called the "principal") to give someone else (called the "agent" or "attorney-in-fact") the power to make decisions and take actions on their behalf. This document can cover various areas, such as finances, property, and healthcare. It is important to note that the person creating the Power of Attorney must be of sound mind and understand the consequences of granting someone else this authority. Additionally, the document must be signed, witnessed, and notarized to be considered valid in North Dakota. A Power of Attorney can be a useful tool for individuals who want to ensure their wishes and affairs are looked after by a trusted person if they become unable to handle them themselves.


How to Get Power of Attorney in North Dakota

To get power of attorney in North Dakota, you'll need to follow a few steps. First, you must decide on the type of power of attorney you need, such as general or specific. Then, you need to draft a power of attorney document using a template or seeking legal advice. Make sure to include the necessary details, like the names of the parties involved and the powers being granted. Next, sign the document in the presence of a notary public. Finally, have the document recorded at the county recorder's office where the individual granting the power resides. It's essential to understand the responsibility that comes with power of attorney, as this grants another person the authority to make decisions on your behalf. Consult an attorney if you have any uncertainties in this process.
