Estate Planning
Our estate planning attorneys can help you manage your assets while alive, protect your assets in the event that you fall ill, and provide the care for your family after you are gone. Our clients range from families who need a simple will to other complex situations. Our estate planning lawyers work closely with clients to identify goals, plan for contingencies, and create a comprehensive estate plan that make sure that their wishes are carried out. This often involves instruments designed to bypass probate, set aside assets, minimize estate taxes, and control who will be your beneficiaries:
- A will to govern the distribution of your assets
- Durable powers of attorney to handle your financial affairs
- Medical power of attorney
- A health care directive (living will) regarding life support measures
- Appointment of guardians for minor children
- Family limited partnerships to pass a family-owned business to the next generation
- Irrevocable life insurance trust
- Revocable trusts
- Special needs trust for disabled child or vulnerable adult
- Medicaid\nursing home planning
- Charity trusts and charitable remainder trusts
