Customized Estate Planning and Wealth Preservation for Your Future and the Future of Your Loved Ones
You worked hard all your life to build your estate. Now it is time to determine the legacy you want to leave. We provide uniquely crafted plans to meet your legacy planning needs to pass your assets, including your investments, real estate, businesses, and personal property to your loved ones and/or charities. We may implement strategies into your plan to cover the costs of long-term care, including nursing home care and in-home assistance, without depleting your assets, and ensure your spouse is provided for.
We take a client-centered approach to ensure your plan is uniquely tailored to you, your family, and the legacy you want to leave. We work hard to ensure our clients are fully informed of all planning options while counseling them through these important decisions. We are here to help when a loved one passes away. We represent heirs, beneficiaries, family members, and corporate fiduciaries in every step of the probate or trust administration, with the utmost compassion and understanding.
In addition to creating customized wills and trusts, we guide our clients through the process of creating durable powers of attorney and healthcare documents, such as health care powers of attorney, living wills, and HIPAA authorizations. This allows our clients to outline their wishes in advance of a problem and will usually keep the family out of an expensive court guardianship proceeding. By guiding clients through proper disability planning, they decide for themselves who to name as an agent to act upon incapacity, rather than a judge in a courtroom.
Because our firm intentionally focuses on just a few key areas of the law, we bring the capabilities and expertise of a large firm, but the personalized attention of a small firm. We strive to establish long-term, personalized relationships with all clients.
