Millennials & Real Estate: Why Estate Planning Matters

03.24.25 09:03 AM - By info

You finally bought a home—maybe your first, maybe an investment. Either way, real estate is one of the biggest assets you’ll ever own. But what happens to it if something unexpected occurs? Without an estate plan, your property could end up tied up in court, passed on to the wrong people, or worse—forcing your loved ones into a legal headache.

A simple will can direct who inherits your home, while a trust can help avoid probate altogether. If you co-own property, the right legal structure can protect your investment. And don’t forget powers of attorney—someone needs to handle things if you can’t.

Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy or older generations. It’s about protecting what you’ve worked for and making sure your property is handled the way you want. At Schuitmaker Moraitis Law, we can help make a plan that keeps your real estate in the right hands—now and in the future.
