Estate Planning

Our team will work to assist you in navigating the challenges of planning for incapacity as well as for death.

At the core of most estate plans is a living will or revocable living trust. Durable Powers of Attorney and Advance Healthcare Directives prove invaluable in the event of your incapacity -- giving others the authorization and ability to make the necessary day-to-day decisions needed to ensure everything is taken care of.

Everyone has the right to protect their financial futures and personal well-being. Our legal team not only understands how to address the legal requirements of estate planning, but have firsthand experience guiding individuals and families through this legal process.

We recognize how important elder law issues are to individuals and their families, and our legal teams are devoted to defending the rights of our clients. We always approach such cases with compassion and professionalism. Contact us today. 

Wills & Revocable Trusts

A Will is a written document that states an individual’s wishes as to how assets should be disposed of upon their death. Without this important document in place, you have no control over how your assets will be divided as they will be divided according to your state’s laws.

Some benefits of having a Will include:

• Simple Process
• Avoids Intestate Rules
• It Honors Your Personal Wishes

A Living Trust is a planning method that offers benefits for all individuals, especially those who are older or who have substantial assets. This document is used to avoid probate and protect the trust owner and beneficiaries.

Some benefits of having a Revocable Living Trust include:

• Avoid Probate, Save Time and Money
• Avoid Conservatorship
• It Honors Your Personal Wishes
• Privacy for the Trust Owner

Power of Attorney 

A Power of Attorney (POA) is a document that gives another person the authority to act on your behalf regarding financial, medical, and personal business matters. In the event you are unable to make these decisions yourself, a Power of Attorney of your choosing will act on your behalf to carry out your specified wishes.

Some benefits of having a Power of Attorney include:

• Choice of Person to Act of POA
• Avoids Guardianship or Conservatorship
• Declares Desires and Wishes
• Personalized for Preferences
• Control over Your Decisions

Powers of Attorney can include General, Limited, Durable, and Springing.

Advanced Healthcare Directive

An Advance Healthcare Directive, also known as a Living Will, enables you to do two things:

• First, it allows you to choose someone you trust who will have authority to make healthcare decisions for you in case you are incapacitated.
• Second, it allows you to explain how you want certain medical care or procedures to be handled. This document helps loved ones, and medical personnel make important decisions during a crisis, even when you're unable to make your wishes known yourself.
