Estate Planning, Wills & Trusts

Encompasses the Accumulation, Conservation and Distribution of Assets

Estate planning is essential for individuals interested in protecting assets from one generation to the next. Our attorneys provide individualized counseling and advice for your specific situation and are well versed in traditional and non-traditional estate plans that are unique to each person. We will work with you to develop an estate plan that achieves your objectives.

Estate Planning

We will carefully explain the different strategies for accomplishing your goals, including the implementation of wills or trusts, the titling of assets to avoid probate, or the use of lifetime gifts. Once you have determined the approach you want to take, we will prepare and execute the documents you need to put your plan in place, including:

• Wills and trusts: revocable or irrevocable, living or testamentary, charitable, bypass, family, grandchildren or other special needs trusts

• Powers of attorney: general powers of attorney as well as health care powers of attorney

• Living wills: health care directives spelling out your wishes about life-support and related issues when you are unable to speak for yourself

Our Firm's estate planning attorneys will help integrate tax planning strategies, as well as provisions to address Medicare or Medicaid eligibility and expenses. If you have minor children or others who lack capacity to make their own decisions, we can help you put a guardianship or conservatorship in place.
