An estate plan is a structured set of directives that detail the distribution of your assets, designate decision-making authority in case of incapacity, and record your healthcare preferences. At our firm, these directives are made to ensure that actions taken on your behalf faithfully align with your wishes. Our estate planning services are comprehensive, including the drafting of three critical documents: the Last Will and Testament, Power of Attorney, and Healthcare Directive.
Often recognized as the cornerstone of any estate plan, the Will stipulates how your assets will be allocated and distributed after your passing. Our firm ensures that this document covers asset distribution and appoints a trusted, competent executor to oversee the process. We address legal intricacies, such as waiving bonding requirements where applicable and making strategic tax decisions to benefit the estate, ensuring that your estate is managed efficiently.
The Power of Attorney is a document that allows you to designate somebody close to you to manage your financial and legal affairs, including banking transactions, real estate dealings, and interacting with government agencies. We work with you to design a document that defines that authority and structures it in a way that matches your specific needs.
Known also as a living will, the healthcare directive outlines your medical treatment preferences in situations where you cannot make decisions yourself. Our firm ensures that the directive grants decision-making authority to a trusted individual, guiding healthcare professionals and loved ones in accordance with your wishes.
In addition to these core documents, we specialize in the creation and administration of various trusts, offering solutions like revocable living trusts for asset control during your lifetime and seamless transfer post-death, and irrevocable trusts for asset protection and tax benefits. For clients who own their own businesses, we offer business succession planning. This includes drafting buy-sell agreements, aiding in the selection and preparation of successors, and ensuring that business operations transition smoothly, safeguarding both the business's and family's future.
Our goal is to ensure that your estate is planned precisely as you wish, providing peace of mind to you and your loved ones. We understand that every client's situation is unique, and we take the time to listen to your concerns, understand your goals, and craft a tailored estate plan that reflects your values and aspirations.
