"You Know Our Family Better Than I Do!"
Because we work so closely with our clients, because we take the time to really listen, we really get to know them and their families. We draw on this knowledge to guide them through the estate planning process, helping them create a plan that best suits their needs.
A good estate plan is more than just a will. It can include a wide range of documents that all serve different functions:
- Wills: Wills designate how your real property and personal assets should be distributed in the event that you pass away.
- General Durable Powers of attorney: These documents allow you to appoint someone to make important legal and financial decisions on your behalf.
- Living wills/Health Care Powers of Attorney: Living wills provide advance directives for medical decisions, like terminal illness or permanent unconsciousness. They are in place just in case you are unable to communicate your preferences yourself.
- Trusts: A trust is a way to give the benefits of cash or property ownership to a person with those benefits managed by a trustee.
- Guardianships and conservatorships: These documents appoint a guardian or a conservator to oversee personal affairs or finances in the event of health problems or other significant needs.
