At Galloway Law, we understand that creating an estate plan isn’t just about paperwork—it’s about giving you peace of mind and ensuring your wishes are honored, your family is protected, and your legacy is clear. Serving Porter County and the surrounding Northwest Indiana communities, we will guide you through every step of the estate-planning process so that you’re prepared today for whatever tomorrow may bring.
Why estate planning is essential
Even if you’re young or feel you have minimal assets, life brings unexpected changes—health issues, business growth, real estate, or simply wanting to ensure your wishes are followed. An effective estate plan helps you:
- Name guardians for minor children and provide for their care
- Choose who will manage your affairs and make decisions if you’re unable
- Allocate assets to family, friends, charities, or business successors
- Minimize complications, delays, and costs for your loved ones after you’re gone
- Potentially reduce estate taxes, creditor exposure, and probate delays
