Estate planning is one of those important tasks that's easy to put off.

Between work, family responsibilities, getting your kids to things, taking care of yourself, and everything else on your calendar, finding time to sit down with an estate planning attorney may not be at the top of your priority list. But it's an important step in making sure your wishes are documented and the people you've chosen are prepared to carry them out.

Having an estate plan in place means you've taken the time to consider important decisions about your assets, your family, and who will manage your affairs if you're unable to do so yourself. It's something many people put off for years, but once it's completed, it's one less thing left on your to-do list. If estate planning has been on your mind, we'd be happy to help you get started.

Creating your estate plan is only part of the process. Your original documents also should be stored somewhere safe and where the right people can access them when needed.

Make sure your executor, trustee or power of attorney knows where your original documents are kept and how to get them. A safe deposit box or a really good hiding spot really isn't helpful when no one knows it exists!

Once your estate plan is complete, take a few minutes to make sure people who may eventually need those documents know where to find them!

Some conversations are easier to have before they’re urgent.

No one is really looking forward to sitting down with their loved ones to talk about death, money, beneficiaries, or what should happen if they are no longer able to make decisions for themselves.

It can be uncomfortable, obviously, especially when family relationships might already be complicated. But these conversations are a lot harder when they're happening during a crisis and everyone is trying to figure out what you would have wanted.

Estate planning takes away the discomfort and gives you the chance to make those decisions yourself without rushing through them when something happens.

Most people think about estate planning in terms of what happens after they die. But a good estate plan should also account for what could happen during your lifetime. Long-term care can be expensive. Waiting until you need care can make planning hard with what's available to you at the time you need it. Conversations about different strategies that help protect assets and reduce some financial burden are important to have early.

When you're putting together an estate plan, don't just plan for your stuff. Make sure you consider what you might need along the way.

Grandparents: one of the most meaningful gifts you can give your family might not be something that comes wrapped in a box.

If your adult children have young kids of their own, consider offering to pay for their estate plan. We often find that young couples understand the importance of naming guardians and putting a plan in place, but the cost can be one of the biggest reasons they continue to put it off.

Covering that expense can help your children make important decisions about who would care for your grandchildren if the unexpected happened, while also putting the other protections their growing family needs in place.

It’s a practical way to help your adult children today while giving everyone in the family a little more peace of mind about the future.

On October 1st, 2019 four young lawyers who had practiced together as the Trusts & Estates section of a large downtown law firm in Lincoln took a risk and forged out on their own to start a boutique estate and business law firm. Christi Ball, Andrew Loudon, Brett Ebert and Kara Brostrom founded their new law firm with three team members and one phone line.

Today, Ball, Loudon, Ebert, & Brostrom, LLC has five full time and two part time attorneys, ten full time and five part time team members, offices in Lincoln, Omaha and Grand Island and attorneys licensed in Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Arizona.

While we have grown bigger to serve our over 15,000 individual clients, we are committed to remaining a boutique law firm that specializes in estate planning, estate administration and business services. Our main goal is to serve our clients with sophisticated, innovative and client-responsive legal services tailored to their individual situation. We are here to help.

Most importantly, we thank our clients, referral sources, friends and family for your support over the last seven years. We have been successful because of you. Thank you!
