Preparation for the Future

We believe that doing estate planning now can save great heartache in the future, and we work diligently to walk you through each step in the planning process. We will assist you with the following types of documents:
- Wills: creation of a will allows you to designate how your assets will be divided among your loved ones.
- Trusts: trusts allow for the avoidance of costly probate proceedings and can help to control assets when leaving assets to underage children. Trusts can be public or private, and include the appointment of a guardian.
- Medical powers of attorney: this document governs your end-of-life decisions, pain management, and your own body, as well as designate the person who holds the power to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you are incapacitated. The document gives an appointed individual legal authority to carry out your wishes and the moral authority to do your wishes when it comes to standing up to family members with other ideas about what you want.
- Durable powers of attorney for assets: allows the power holder to transact business for you should you become incapacitated, including the filing of tax returns, entering into contracts, and handling other business affairs.
