Estate Planning
Creating an estate plan for yourself and your family will save your loved ones undue stress after you are gone. An estate plan also helps ensure that your wishes are carried out. Your estate plan may include a will, trusts, powers of attorney, and a health care proxy. Once you have created your estate plan, you should review it every few years or when a major life event occurs. Knowing you have the right estate plan in place can give you and your loved ones peace of mind and free up your time to focus on the things you enjoy. At Mary Keating Esq LLC, we strive to give you the personalized attention you need for this important legal process. To learn more about estate planning, click the Read More button.
Probate and Estate Settlement
Losing a loved one is hard enough without trying to figure out what is required to settle an estate. Let us guide you through the Connecticut probate process and make sure you do not miss important dates.
​
Many people don't realize that an estate tax return is due within six months of someone's death, whether or not a tax payment is due. Connecticut charges all estates a probate fee. If this fee is not paid on time, interest starts accruing. In addition, any real estate own will have an automatic lien placed on it which must be released prior to sale of the property.
​
Our firm can take this additional stress of your plate and allow you to spend time with your family.
