Estate Planning and Administration in the State of Alabama
It’s an unfortunate fact that most individuals in the state of Alabama die intestate—without a will. When a person dies without a will, his or her assets are inventoried, taxed, and distributed to the next of kin (i.e. spouse, children) in accordance with Alabama probate law. The aim of estate planning is not only to make sure that your assets are divided in accordance with your wishes, but also to minimize the federal tax impact on your estate. Attorney T. Boice Turner, Jr. has developed numerous estate planning strategies that employ time-tested and legally sound asset preservation tactics. Among the services that he provides for his estate planning clients are:
- Will and testament preparation
- Trust formation
- Tax strategies
- Powers of attorney formation
- Death contingency planning for partnerships and other businesses
- Guardianship succession plans
Probate Administration and Executor Guidance
When an individual dies, his or her will must be submitted to the Alabama probate court. If there is a will, it will name the personal representative or executor. This individual performs a number of functions, like inventorying the estate’s assets, notifying creditors to the estate, distributing assets, et cetera. Being named as an estate’s personal representative can be daunting for most individuals. In many cases, attorney Turner’s clients name family or friends as their personal representative. If a client does choose to select a trusted individual to administer the estate, attorney Turner can provide guidance throughout the Alabama probate process.
