Estate Planning for you

Caitlin Caputo Law was established to create a customized, accommodating estate plan for individuals and families throughout the Valley. Caitlin Caputo seeks to make each client feel valued and prepared for their future. 

A good estate plan should be centered around what options you believe best meet your individual needs. Creating Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney, and other documents allows you the freedom to shape your estate, rather than allowing the state to determine what happens. 

What is a will and why do i need one?

A Will is a document that states how you would like your assets to be distributed upon your passing. If you do not have a Will, state laws will determine how your assets are distributed. A Will gives you the freedom to choose how your assets will be dispersed and to whom.

what is a trust and what can it do for me?

A Trust is a document that provides protection for the assets you put into it. A Trust can allow you to structure how your beneficiaries will receive assets held in the Trust. It can also reduce costs and avoid probate.

What is a power of attorney?

A Power of Attorney is a type of document that allows you to authorize someone to act on your behalf for certain situations or decisions. A common example is a Medical Power of Attorney, which allows someone that you choose to make medical decisions on your behalf when you are unable to make these decisions yourself.
