Estate Planning

Our Estate Planning Services Include:

• Wills and Trusts: We assist in drafting wills to specify how your assets should be distributed upon death, allowing you to appoint an executor, name guardians for minor children, and express your wishes. Additionally, we establish trusts to manage assets on behalf of beneficiaries, helping to avoid probate, provide for minor children or family members with special needs, and potentially reduce estate taxes.
• Power of Attorney (POA): We prepare legal documents that grant authority to a trusted individual to act on your behalf in financial, legal, or health-related matters. This includes General POA for broad powers, Limited POA for specific tasks, Durable POA that remains effective if you become incapacitated, and Health Care POA for medical decisions when you’re unable to do so yourself.
• Tax-Efficient Wealth Transfer: Our strategies aim to minimize tax liabilities while maximizing the legacy you leave behind. We utilize trusts to offer controlled distribution of assets, structure life insurance to cover estate taxes, consider Roth conversions to remove future tax obligations for your beneficiaries, and implement strategic gifting to take advantage of annual gift tax exclusions.
