FAQ

FAQ

What is the difference between a will and a trust?

Arrow icon

A will is a legal document that outlines how a person's assets should be distributed after they pass away. A trust is a legal arrangement that can be used to manage assets during a person's lifetime and after their death. Unlike a will, a trust can help minimize the need for probate court and can offer greater flexibility in distributing assets.

Do I need a power of attorney?

Arrow icon

A power of attorney can be a useful tool for anyone, but it is especially important for individuals who are aging or who have health issues. By appointing a trusted person to make decisions on your behalf, you can ensure that your medical and financial wishes are carried out if you become incapacitated.

What is Medicaid planning?

Arrow icon

Medicaid planning is the process of arranging your finances and assets in a way that can help you qualify for Medicaid benefits while protecting your assets. This can be a complex process, but our Montana estate attorneys can help you through the process and ensure that you are able to receive the benefits you need.

How can asset protection help me?

Arrow icon

Asset protection can help you protect your assets from potential creditors or lawsuits. By working with a Montana estate attorney, you can explore different strategies for protecting your assets, such as creating trusts or establishing LLCs.
