4. After Your Consultation
Oftentimes, we get everything squared away in our first consultation. However, more complex situations will require a second planning meeting. After discussing your options and helping you chose the best one for you, we draft all of the appropriate documents. You should get these approximately 4-6 weeks after our first meeting together.
5. Completing Your Estate Plan
Upon receiving your draft documents, you should read through them thoroughly. You have the option to do this on your own or with Cara Law. To make your new estate plan official, we will arrange a convenient time for us to meet in person to sign the documents. You will also have a chance to ask any remaining questions. We go over each document with you to make sure that you understand what we put in place, and that your plan is clear and meets your expectations.
2-3 weeks after you sign your documents, you will receive your completed estate planning binder from our office. Your estate plan binder contains all of your documents, instructions to your agents and family members, as well as some additional helpful tips and information about how to make the best use of your new estate plan.
