Our Wills and Trusts Practice
When you hire our office to guide you through the estate planning process, we will start by learning as much as we can about your goals and objectives, as well as your financial situation. Once we have a clear picture of your circumstances, we will carefully explain the different strategies for accomplishing your objectives. We will use layman's terms to help you understand the use of wills and trusts, including re-titling certain assets when necessary. We also assist clients with lifetime gifting. We will clearly identify your responsibilities, as well as those of anyone you have named in your estate planning documents, and make certain you know how to make changes to your estate plan.
We provide clients with an estate planning package that includes a:
- Simple will: A will documents your wishes for the distribution of your property and can also identify who will have guardianship of your minor children. We will coordinate the terms of the will with your trust, so that it addresses those assets not placed in the trust.
- Trust: A primary purpose of a trust is to avoid the probate process and the costs associated with taking an estate through probate. We prepare a wide range of trusts to meet our clients' needs, including revocable and irrevocable trusts, living and testamentary trusts, and special needs trusts.
- Durable power of attorney: We will prepare a durable power of attorney for you, designating a person with legal authority to act for you in the event of incapacity, including collecting and paying bills, filing taxes and initiating litigation.
- Healthcare power of attorney: We will draft and execute a healthcare power of attorney, which will authorize the named person to make healthcare decisions in the event of your incapacity.
