The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely on advertisements.
Contrary to popular belief, estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy as it can help any family during a difficult time. Approximately 60% of Americans are unprepared and do not have a proper estate plan. That’s where Fred Hall and Pat Sweeney, attorneys with Hall, Ansley, Rodgers & Sweeney, P.C., can provide assistance.
Mr. Hall and Mr. Sweeney have practiced law together since 1986. Mr. Hall is a prestigious member of the American College of Trust & Estate Planning and Mr. Sweeney is a member of the Greene County Estate Planning Council Board. Both attorneys are featured speakers on probate and estate planning issues in Southwest Missouri.
As members of the full service law firm, Hall, Ansley, Rodgers & Sweeney, P.C., Mr.
Hall and Mr. Sweeney place special emphasis on estate planning, and their services include the preparation of wills and trusts, health care directives, powers of attorney, and guardianships. They also provide legal counseling on elder law, asset protection planning, estate tax planning, as well as probate and trust administration services.
Estate planning is crucial for people from all walks of life, and according to Mr. Sweeney, “Estate planning benefits anyone who wants to make sure their plans are carried out and their loved ones are cared for, without having to go through probate.”
A good estate plan makes things easier for loved ones by providing spousal support, preserving assets for later generations, and protecting a family's privacy. A bad estate plan—or the lack of an estate plan entirely—can result in increased taxes and costs, and the disposal of assets in ways you wouldn't have chosen.
Mr. Sweeney, points out that each client’s set of circumstances are unique, and the approach should be as well. “Who is in charge of your money? Who is in charge of your children? Who oversees the winding up of your affairs? Good estate planning should reflect your goals and express what you value.”
The best decision is an informed decision, and Fred Hall and Pat Sweeney take time to get to know their clients and the details of their estate. They learn about their lives, their family situations, and the possibility of life changing events. In addition, they make sure their clients understand their estate plan during the process and feel good about their plan when they complete and execute their new documents.
Relationships aren’t just transactional. “At Hall Ansley Rodgers & Sweeney, quality legal representation is our advantage, but client service is our product.”[[In-content Ad]]
