Customized Estate Planning Crafted With Care

No two sets of circumstances are identical. By learning about your family, your assets, and your goals, we will educate you about the pros and cons of each estate structure. By crafting an estate plan that makes sense for your situation, we let you rest easy knowing that your affairs have been taken care of.
​
Before getting started, it is important to understand everything that can be accomplished through estate planning. A strong estate plan can do so much more than simply direct how your assets are handed down when you pass away. It can offer a variety of protections during your lifetime, not only for your assets, but for you and your family.
Our all-encompassing estate planning services include:

• Wills - they provide direction on how you would like your assets handed down and assign guardianship to minors.
• Trusts - a crucial and diverse aspect of estate planning, trusts will protect your legacy and ensure privacy and control of your wealth. Learn more about the different types of trusts here.
• Power of Attorney - in the event that you are incapacitated to the point where you are unable to make legal decisions for yourself, granting power of attorney will ensure your wishes are fulfilled.
• Probate - although we help to get your estate organized to avoid probate, sometimes event happen suddenly and the estate must be sorted out after the fact. We guide you through the paperwork and estate administration matters.
• Probate Litigation - in the event that someone challenges an estate plan, we will fight for you and your rights to uphold your deceased loved one's wishes. Get a more in-depth look at our process here.
• Estate plan updates - circumstances change. We review your plan on a regular basis and recommend updates as necessary.
• Marital Property Agreements (Prenups and Postnups) - even if you plan on getting married, your assets and interests might differ. A marital property agreement clearly defines what is yours.
