Our focus will be to prepare a highly personal and customized estate plan that is tailored just for you. Our comprehensive team approach will result in the high quality legal services and supports that will meet you needs now and into your future as you plan for your second half of life! 

Your estate plan indicates how you want your assets to be managed during your lifetime, and how you want them distributed upon your death. A carefully considered estate plan often includes legal documents and directives that state your wishes and authorize the people you trust to assure that your estate planning goals are accomplished. A successful estate plan will give you peace of mind.

Some estate planning documents are executed and effective while you are alive, so that your assets and personal affairs are carefully managed in the way that you want, even if you are no longer able to manage them on your own. These documents are often used to preserve assets in the event that nursing facility, or another type of long-term care, is needed. They include:

• Financial powers of attorney
• Health care powers of attorney
• Health care advance directives/Living Will
• Trusts

Other estate planning documents are designed to be effective after your death. These documents help assure that your assets are distributed in accordance with the law, to the designated beneficiaries, and in the amounts specified. They include:

• Last wills and testaments
• Trusts
• Beneficiary designations
