Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in an estate plan in Essex Junction Vermont?
A typical estate plan includes a last will and testament, a durable power of attorney, and an advance directive for health care. Many people also add a revocable living trust to avoid probate in Vermont. Your attorney can customize these documents to fit your family and financial situation.
Does Vermont have an estate tax?
Yes, Vermont imposes an estate tax on estates valued over a certain threshold. For 2025, the Vermont estate tax exemption is $5 million per individual. Estates above this amount may owe tax to the state, so proper planning is important.
How long does probate take in Vermont?
Vermont probate typically takes 6 to 12 months for a simple estate. Complex estates with disputes or large assets can take longer. A local attorney can help you understand the process and possibly avoid probate with a trust.
