Why Estate Planning Matters

More Than You Think

Don't Leave a Mess.

Will or Trust or Probate? What do you really need to keep your family out of court and out of conflict when something happens to you? We'll look at your family dynamics, explain probate—the state’s plan if you fail to do your own planning.

Protect Who (and What) Matters.

Don’t fail your loved ones. Even if you've created a plan already, it may not work when your family needs it. Learn what happens when clients are not well-counseled, when your assets are not owned in the right way, and plans are not updated when required to meet your goals. Your family deserves more.

Get Financial Peace of Mind.

It doesn’t matter how much money you have. Estate planning is simply facing the end and attending to the inevitable, to accomplish the best possible legal and financial choices throughout life and after you pass.

How Can We Help You?

Wills & Trusts

Ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes with a Last Will or Revocable Living Trust. Wills provide clear instructions for asset distribution and guardianship, while trusts avoid probate and protect your privacy. We help create tailored solutions to fit your estate planning needs.

Deeds

Ensure the smooth transfer of property with expertly drafted Real Estate Deeds. Whether it's a Quitclaim Deed, Warranty Deed, or Transfer-on-Death Deed, we help protect your interests and ensure your property is passed on according to your wishes, with minimal complications.

Medical Power of Attorney

Ensure your healthcare wishes are respected, even if you're unable to communicate. A Medical Power of Attorney lets you appoint a trusted person to make medical decisions on your behalf. It provides peace of mind, avoids family disputes, and ensures that your care aligns with your values.

Power of Attorney

Designate trusted individuals to manage your finances and healthcare with a Durable Power of Attorney and Medical Power of Attorney. These essential documents provide peace of mind, ensuring your affairs are in good hands if you become incapacitated.

Guardianship

Guardianship can be a sensitive and legally intricate matter. As experienced guardianship attorneys, we help families navigate every step of the process—from petitioning the court to appointing a guardian, to ensuring the protected person's rights and well-being are upheld.
