Estate Planning Attorney Serving Napa
Estate planning is a task that most of us tend to put off as long as possible. Sometimes we avoid estate planning because we don’t think our “estate” is substantial enough to warrant an estate plan. It can also be difficult to think about our eventual demise or disability, or we may simply be so busy that estate planning tasks get pushed to the side. While the number of American adults who had a will or other type of estate plan increased slightly during the pandemic, we are now seeing a drop in the number of people with estate plans.
Caring.com found that the only age group that has not seen a decline in estate planning rates since 2020 is young adults between the ages of 18 and 34. Virtually every adult can benefit from having an estate plan. Having an experienced estate planning attorney serving Napa from Gullotta Law Group will make the estate planning process simple and easy while tailoring your plan precisely to your wishes and needs.

Do I Really Need an Estate Plan?
It’s easy to put off thinking about an estate plan until you are older, but in truth, unexpected and unthinkable events happen in life every day. Estate plans are not reserved for the super-wealthy, or for those who have children. Even young adults approaching 18 may want to consider an estate plan. No matter what level of assets you have, you probably have some idea of who you would like those assets to go to in the event of your death—and who you would not want them to go to. The state of California might have other ideas, so it is important to have a clear estate plan that details your wishes. An experienced estate planning attorney serving Napa from Gullotta Law Group will ensure your estate plan is thoughtful, thorough, and fully reflects your wishes and where you are in your life journey.
How Much Will an Estate Plan Cost?
The cost of your estate plan is dependent on how extensive that plan is. Generally speaking, an estate plan could cost from $900 to more than $6,000 depending on whether you only have a will, or have trusts, power of attorney documents, and healthcare directives as well. Gullotta Law Group is unique in that we offer fixed fees for the creation of your estate planning documents. This allows you to ask questions and get involved without worrying about hourly fees.
