Planning for your estate after you are gone is not a fun thought. Many people put it off, thinking they are too young, they do not have enough assets, or they just do not want to think about it. However, everyone needs an estate plan, and having a plan in place offers peace of mind about your family’s financial future you cannot get otherwise.
If you recently got married, had a baby, retired, or are facing a medical crisis, estate planning may be high on your list of things to do. But even if you are young and in perfect health, it is never a bad time to create a will, learn more about protecting your assets as you age, or take care of other important estate planning tasks.
A compassionate estate planning attorney in Ewing at Bratton Law is ready to help you create the future plan you need based on your own financial situation and preferences. We can help reduce the stress on your family after your death, and ensure they receive all the assets you intend for them at that time. Call us today at 856-857-6007 to make an appointment.

Planning for your estate after you pass away is the best way to reduce the risk of in-fighting and family disputes after your death. We see a lot of this in our practice, and it is most common when there is not a valid estate plan in place. Many people believe this type of dispute would never occur in their family, but it is more common than you might think. Creating an estate plan now greatly reduces the chances of litigation over your estate later on.

Can Bratton Law Help Me Protect My Minor Children?
Many parents come to us not to protect their assets, but to ensure they have a plan in place for their minor children if something happens to both of them. This is one of the most important — and hardest to discuss — parts of estate planning
Our estate planning team offers sympathetic guidance through the process of creating a will or trust that will ensure your children’s education and care, safety, and financial security if you can no longer provide for them. We can help you identify and discuss the prospect with potential guardians and/or fiduciaries, and to put legal protections in place to ensure they retain custody of your minor children or special needs adult dependents.
Having a plan in place for your children is an especially important part of estate planning. If you do not have a will or other plan in place, guardianship will likely be up to a judge who does not know your children or the potential guardians.
Do I Need an Estate Planning Lawyer to Build My Ewing Estate Plan?
