When should you put an estate plan in place? There’s really no right or wrong time. However, Eric recommends that you start thinking about it more seriously after you’ve bought a home or had children.

Another thing to remember is that an estate plan is something that you need to update continually. As your life changes, your estate plan should change too. For example, you may need to update it after you have a child or get married. Should the worst happen, you don't want an ex-spouse or former friend to be listed as the decision-maker on your healthcare directive.
It's something to get taken care of early
According to Eric, a typical estate plan will cost $1,000 to $1,500. It’s something smart to get taken care of early so that your family will be taken care of no matter what happens. If you have any questions for Eric or would like to hire him to set up an estate plan for yourself, give him a call at (801)-290-2130 or send an email over to froidlandtaxlaw@gmail.com.

If you have any other questions for me in the meantime, don’t hesitate to reach out and give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!

I was recently joined by my good friend and client, Eric Froisland, who is also a licensed attorney in the state of Utah. I wanted him to come by to talk about a topic that you probably have a lot of misconceptions about. I know I did. I’m talking about estate planning.

I think it’s really important for you to have an estate plan no matter who you are, and Eric agrees. Originally, I had thought the whole purpose of an estate plan is to keep the government out of your money and keep your family from fighting over your stuff. That’s part of it, but it’s a lot more complicated according to Eric.

Your will and your trust are actually what help your family decide what to do with your things. However, there are three equally important parts of your estate plan: your advanced healthcare directive, HIPAA release forms, and power of attorney. An estate plan isn’t only beneficial to your family, but it’s also beneficial to you personally. There are a lot of gray areas out there when it comes to the advanced healthcare directive that can be exploited if you don’t have a plan in place.
There’s really no right or wrong time to get started.
A lot of people want to know if they should do their estate planning online. While it’s certainly an option, Eric doesn’t recommend it. When you're sitting down with an attorney, they will cover issues that wouldn't be covered by an online estate planner. Online planners will treat you more like a number in the system.

If you have questions or want to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out to me. I’d love to hear from you.

Today I’m very excited to share a great listing in Sugar House. 

One reason I find this listing to be so special is that it shows you can live with a family in Sugar House while still having access to modern amenities. 

This two-story, 3,000 square foot home was built in 1938, which is unusual for the area. 
Living with a family in Sugar House while still having access to modern amenities is possible.
In the master, you’ll enjoy high ceilings, a walk-out porch, and a fabulous walk-in closet. 

Just off of the master, there’s also an office space and a wet bar. 

Of course, this is just one room of the house. If you are interested in the home and would like a personal tour, I would love to share all it has to offer with you.

If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
