Comprehensive Planning for the Future

A properly drafted estate plan can take a lot of pressure off you and your loved ones. Completing the necessary documents can make your wishes clear to your family, taking the emotional decision making out of their hands when the time comes.

• Wills-- an effective will can ensure that your assets are distributed as you see fit. Proper preparation may help your loved ones avoid probate after your passing, limiting the potential for costly legal fees in the future.
• Trusts-- planning a trust can be effective for clients with larger estates or assets in different states. It can also help to retain the value of your estate for future generations while limiting the amount of money spent on taxes.
• Advance directives-- appointing an individual to make healthcare and financial decisions in the event of incapacitation can avoid family squabbling in the future. A properly executed durable power of attorney and a designation of a health care surrogate can help avoid guardianships.
• Guardianships-- offering protection for adults and developmentally disabled persons alike. Most parents do not realize when their developmentally mentally disabled child turns 18, the child is deemed to be able to make his or her own decisions. Parents of developmental disabled children should plan to be appointed guardian upon their child's 18th birthday. Guardianships for people with dementia or other cognitive impairments may be the only solution to protect the impaired person. A guardian may be appointed to handle a person's property and/or make a person's healthcare decisions.
• Living wills-- making the decision on artificial life support in advance can relieve your loved ones of the weight of such a choice. Living wills express your wishes to avoid being kept alive by artificial means.

Our office offers comprehensive assistance with estate planning documentation and can represent your loved ones throughout the probate process if necessary.
