Your Loved Ones Protected, Your Legacy Secure, All According to Your Rules

Life is unpredictable, and without a solid estate plan in place, everything you’ve worked for could be left in the hands of the courts. The good news? Taking control is easier than you think, and it starts right here. At Bascom Law, we’re here to guide you through the process, so your loved ones are cared for, your wishes are honored, and your legacy is protected.

Why Do I Need Estate Planning?

You’ve worked hard for everything you have—your home, your savings, your investments. You didn’t spend a lifetime building it just to let the government decide what happens when you’re gone. That’s exactly what you’re risking if you don’t have an estate plan. Without one, you’re not in control—someone else is. And the courts and the government won’t have your family’s best interests at heart. They don’t care who gets what. But you do.

You need estate planning because it’s the only way to ensure your wishes are carried out, not left to a judge who doesn’t know your family’s needs or your values. Estate Planning is for anyone who cares about protecting what they’ve built, providing for their loved ones, and making sure their assets are distributed to who they want when they want, and in the manner of their choice.

What Do I Risk by Not Having an Estate Plan?

You risk losing everything you’ve spent your life working for. Without an estate plan, your family could face years of probate court battles, government intervention, and massive tax liabilities that eat away at your wealth. The sad truth is, I’ve seen too many families torn apart by this. Heirs fighting over scraps because no one took the time to put a plan in place. All the while, the government is taking a cut, the courts are taking a cut, and legal fees pile up while your loved ones are left to pick up the pieces.

If you pass away without a plan, the law takes over. Your assets can get locked up in probate for months or even years. And let’s not forget about the estate taxes—those can take a huge bite out of what you leave behind. The truth is, without a plan, everything you wanted to pass on can be drained by taxes, court fees, and legal expenses—leaving your family with little to nothing.

What Can an Estate Plan Do for Me?

An estate plan does more than distribute your assets—it gives you control, peace of mind, and protection for your loved ones. With a solid plan in place, you can:

• Make sure your assets go directly to the people you choose—without court interference.
• Minimize or eliminate estate taxes, so more of your wealth stays in your family, not in government hands.
• Protect your family from the burden of lengthy, costly probate processes.
• Name guardians for your minor children to ensure they’re cared for by the people you trust.
• Prepare for medical emergencies by designating someone to make healthcare decisions if you’re incapacitated.
• Avoid family conflicts by clearly outlining your wishes and making sure everyone is on the same page.
• Secure your legacy—so everything you’ve built continues to benefit the people you love.

A properly prepared estate plan protects your money, protects your family’s future, your values, and your peace of mind.
