Few attorneys have seen estate planning from as many angles as Edmund G. Myers. Ed joined Johnson Duffie in 1977 and has spent nearly five decades helping clients plan for the future. A graduate of Dickinson College and The Dickinson School of Law, Ed has been named one of the Best Lawyers in America and is a past president of the Cumberland County Bar Association. To close out National Estate Planning Month, we asked him what advice he considers most important when planning your estate.
“Choose wisely when it comes to who will handle your estate. You need someone you trust to carry out your wishes the way you intended.”
It’s advice that’s easy to overlook. Much of the attention in estate planning goes to who receives what, but the person you name to settle your affairs plays just as big a role. They’ll be responsible for handling your property, paying final bills, and making sure your instructions are followed.
If you’re ready to start your plan, or want to revisit who you’ve named in an existing one, Ed and our estate planning team are here to help. Contact any of our offices in Lemoyne, Lancaster, Lewistown, or Wyomissing to schedule a consultation.
