What are the unique aspects of estate planning in New Hampshire?

Estate planning in New Hampshire has several distinctive elements that those planning their estate should be aware of. One notable feature is the state's approach to probate, which can be more accessible than in other states due to the availability of informal probate proceedings, reducing time and legal expenses. Additionally, New Hampshire does not impose a state estate tax, which can provide significant financial benefits for larger estates. Trust creation and management are supported by the state's adoption of the Uniform Trust Code, enabling more predictable trust administration. These aspects may help streamline the estate planning process and protect assets efficiently.
