Estate Planning
Estate planning is the process of putting a plan in place to protect yourself, your loved ones, and the things you've worked hard to build. It allows you to decide how your assets and property will be managed if you become unable to do so yourself, and how they will be distributed to the people and causes you care about after your passing.
Every estate plan we create is personalized to reflect your unique goals, family circumstances, and values. You'll work directly with one of our attorneys to design a comprehensive plan that provides clarity, protection, and peace of mind for you and your family.
Our estate planning services include:
Wills & Trusts
We prepare wills and a variety of trusts, including revocable living trusts, testamentary trusts, and third-party special needs trusts. These documents help ensure your wishes are carried out, provide for the people you care about, and, whenever possible, reduce the time, expense, and stress of probate.
Financial Powers of Attorney
A durable financial power of attorney allows you to choose someone you trust to manage your financial affairs if you become unable to do so. This can help avoid unnecessary court proceedings and ensure that your bills, investments, and other financial matters continue to be handled according to your wishes.
Advance Health Care Directives
An advance health care directive lets you appoint someone you trust to make medical decisions on your behalf if you are unable to communicate your wishes. It also allows you to document your preferences for future medical care, giving guidance to both your loved ones and your healthcare providers.
