Helping Families Create Estate Plans and Protect Their Assets

Estate planning is a crucial issue for families to address. While an estate plan will often be focused on how ownership of a person's assets should be handled after their death and how their money and property will be distributed among their family members or other beneficiaries, it can also address a variety of other issues. Incapacity planning can allow a person to make decisions about how issues related to their medical care and finances will be handled if they should ever need assistance with these issues, and families can also utilize asset protection strategies to make sure their wealth is preserved and passed on to future generations. We can provide guidance for families as they address a variety of estate planning concerns, including:

• Living trusts
• Joint trust vs. individual trust
• Powers of attorney
• Advance healthcare directives
