WILLS, TRUSTS AND ESTATE

Estate Planning: Protecting Your Legacy for the Future

Wills

A will is an essential tool to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes after your death. We help draft clear, legally binding wills that specify how you want to distribute your estate, appoint guardians for your minor children, and appoint executors to administer your will. We make sure your will complies with all state laws and accurately reflects your wishes.

Trusts

Trusts offer a flexible and effective way to manage and distribute your assets. Whether it is a living trust, irrevocable trust or testamentary trust, our team will provide you with expert advice on the best structure for your needs. Trusts can help avoid probate, protect assets from taxes, and provide ongoing financial support to your loved ones.

Business Succession Planning

If you own a business, succession planning is crucial to ensuring its continuity and future success. We work with you to develop a business succession plan that includes the transfer of ownership, management and disposition of your business interests. We ensure that your business passes into the right hands and continues to thrive after your retirement or death.

Powers of Attorney and Advance Directives

In addition to wills and trusts, it is important to consider creating powers of attorney and advance healthcare directives. These documents allow individuals you trust to make financial and medical decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so. We help prepare durable powers of attorney and advance directives that reflect your wishes and protect your interests.

Estate Administration

Estate administration can be a complex and emotionally draining process. We assist executors and administrators in all phases of estate administration, from the legalization of the will to the final distribution of the assets. We provide expert guidance to ensure the process is carried out efficiently and in accordance with the law, minimizing stress for your loved ones.

Tax Minimization

An important part of estate planning is minimizing the taxes that may affect your estate. We work to develop strategies that reduce the tax burden on your assets, allowing more of your assets to reach your beneficiaries. We use a combination of wills, trusts and other planning tools to maximize tax benefits.

Personalized Consultations

Each family and wealth situation is unique. We offer personalized consultations to evaluate your specific needs and develop an estate plan that reflects your desires and goals. We take the time to listen to your concerns and provide solutions tailored to your circumstances.
