Valuable Estate Planning Tools

Our law firm views our clients as part of our family, and our main goal is to make sure you are fully prepared and informed throughout the estate planning process. Similarly, we understand that there are many dynamics that can change a family's circumstances, and we can help you address your concerns and resolve complex issues or disputes that may occur as a result.

Our attorneys provide cost-effective strategies and sound legal advice to better serve the needs of our clients and their families. When you are single or married with no children, a Last Will and Testament may suffice, allowing you to specify how your assets should be distributed to your heirs after your death. If you have children, your will can be used to address how you would like guardianship of your children to be handled after your death. You can also take steps to address your wishes regarding the medical treatment you do or do not want to receive as you get closer to the end of your life.

In some cases, the estate planning process may become more complicated. For example, if you are looking for ways to avoid probate, if you have minor children and need to ensure that your property will be held for your heirs until they are ready to manage their own assets, or if you want to determine how to avoid estate taxes as much as possible, a trust may be your best alternative. You may also want to ensure that you can provide financial help for family members who have special needs, or you may wish to name a person who can make decisions for you if you become incapacitated. In any of these cases, our skillful estate planning attorneys can assist you, helping you understand your options and ensuring that you have the plans in place to meet your family's needs.

Our attorneys will meet with you, one-on-one, to carefully help you plan for the future. We can address any concerns you may have about estate planning, including:

• Powers of Attorney for Health Care and Finances
• Estate Tax Planning
• Contested Estates
