What’s Included in Our Flat Fee Essentials Package?
Our essentials estate planning package is designed to provide Birmingham residents with the foundational legal protections everyone needs. Each document is drafted carefully to meet Alabama’s legal requirements and is tailored to your personal needs, giving you confidence that your plan will stand up in court if necessary:
Will
A will is the cornerstone of any estate plan. It specifies how your assets and property will be distributed after your passing. It also appoints guardians for minor children, helping avoid family disputes and ensuring your wishes are respected.
Power of Attorney
This document authorizes a trusted person to manage your financial and legal affairs if you become incapacitated. Having a power of attorney helps your family avoid costly court interventions and keeps your affairs running smoothly.
Advance Healthcare Directive
Also known as a living will, this directive outlines your medical treatment preferences and appoints a healthcare proxy to make decisions on your behalf if you cannot communicate. It is essential for ensuring your healthcare wishes are honored.
Annual Reviews and Updates to Keep Your Estate Plan Current
Estate planning is not a one-time event. Life in Birmingham, like anywhere else, is full of changes—marriages, births, divorces, purchases of new property, health developments, and changes in financial status all impact your estate planning needs.
At Flat Fee Law Firm, we include annual reviews with your estate planning package. During these yearly check-ins, we review your documents to ensure they still reflect your current situation and wishes. Minor edits such as changing beneficiaries or updating appointed agents are done at no additional charge.
This proactive service is a significant benefit for Birmingham residents who want peace of mind that their estate plan will evolve with their lives. Regular updates prevent costly legal challenges and ensure your family is protected no matter what changes occur.
