The Estate Planning Process
Our attorneys will work closely with you to understand your family, your financial situation and your goals. Then our firm will create customized estate vehicles and documents designed to protect your assets and achieve your goals. If you have minor children, it will be important to name a guardian for your children in the event of your death.
As your financial situation and family change, our firm can amend your will and other estate documents in a cost-effective manner.
Complex Estate Planning Services
Our firm has experience for people with large estates and those with complex issues. We can create a trust or trusts designed to meet your goals, including the minimization of estate taxes, avoidance of probate and the protection of your assets. If you have a disabled child, we can create a special needs trust which can provide funds for specific purposes while enabling the child to qualify for federal and state benefits.
