Estate Planning & Administration
Gain peace of mind knowing you've cared for your family's future
The most loving action a person can take for his or her family is to plan for the future. Having a legally valid estate plan in place when you pass helps avoid uncertainty and disputes among beneficiaries. It can also dictate action if you become incapacitated and cannot speak for yourself.
We have crafted hundreds of plans for their clients and can tailor your estate plan to your specific needs. Among the tools we consider are:
- Wills—An essential element of any estate plan is a will. Without a will, your estate will be administered by the state. Your assets then may not be distributed according to your wishes.
- Trusts—Setting up a trust can protect your assets now from adverse tax implications as well as in the future.
- Living wills, advance healthcare directives and durable powers of attorney—If you become incapacitated, an advance healthcare directive and a living will provide instructions about your specific wishes for medical care, such as life-sustaining treatment, organ donation and body disposition; a durable power of attorney allows someone you trust to handle your financial affairs.
