Comprehensive Services For All Estate Planning Needs
Our attorneys are experienced in preparing effective and well-considered estate plans. When you retain our firm, your dedicated estate planning lawyer will help you prepare for the distribution of your property upon death by learning as much as she can about your goals and assets.
They will also evaluate strategies and alternatives for effective transfers of assets and utilize simple and revocable trusts. With careful consideration of the consequences of each option, as well as potential considerations for your heirs, your attorney will recommend the best approach to meet your objectives.
Once your lawyer has determined how you wish to proceed, they will prepare and execute all the necessary legal documents required to put your estate plan in place. These may include:
- Wills: These are legal documents that specify how you want to distribute assets after your death, name guardians for minor children and appoint an executor to manage your estate.
- Trusts: With a trust, you can allow a third party (trustee) to manage assets on behalf of beneficiaries. Trusts offer potential tax benefits and can help you avoid probate.
- Healthcare directives: These are documents that outline your medical treatment preferences and designate someone to make healthcare decisions for you if you become incapacitated.
- Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements: Legal contracts between spouses or soon-to-be spouses that outline how they will divide assets in case of divorce or death.
- Comprehensive estate planning package: This is a tailored combination of legal tools and strategies designed to protect your assets, minimize taxes, ensure your wishes are carried out and meet other goals. Our estate planning attorneys can help customize an estate plan for you with various instruments, such as wills, trusts, power of attorney, healthcare directives and more.
Remember that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to estate planning. If you’re not sure which tools you need, don’t hesitate to contact our lawyers for guidance.
