Practice Areas › Estate Planning

If you think estate planning is only for the very wealthy, think again. Having basic estate planning documents in place is vital to preserving your hard-won financial accomplishments – large or small; distributing your estate to your desired beneficiaries, avoiding probate court, and ensuring your personal wishes regarding medical treatment are carried out should you become incapacitated or unable to communicate.

An estate plan will address these important issues and give you peace of mind that you have provided for yourself, family and loved ones.

An estate plan establishes legal documents that:

  • Secure distribution of your hard-earned assets upon your death in accordance with your wishes – with a minimum of tax obligations
  • Ensure loved ones are provided for in your absence
  • Provide for the guardianship of minor children
  • Minimize the emotional and financial burden on your heirs
  • Establish guidelines for your medical care should you become incapacitated
