Have a plan- for the sake of your loved ones and for your own peace of mind
Everyone has an estate, whether large, small, or somewhere in between. Your estate consists of everything you own— your home, car, bank accounts, investments, life insurance, and other personal possessions. Although you can't take these things with you when you die, you can control how and when those things are given to the people or organizations you care most about. We'll take the time to make sure that your estate plan is custom fit specifically for you. |
It's never too early to start planning
Although we normally think about it more as we get older and come to grips with our mortality, estate planning is for people of all ages. Estate planning is especially recommended for parents of minor children to make sure their children are provided for according to their wishes. |
Estate planning is not just for the wealthy
It's normal to consider estate planning as we start to build wealth, but estate planning is not just for the wealthy. Estate planning is often even more important to families with modest assets, because they can afford to lose the least. |

From wills & trusts to probate & asset protection- we do it all! |
|
|
Our areas of expertise include but are not limited to:
|
Wills and Trusts
A will directs the distribution of a person's probate assets and simplifies the transfer of his or her property upon death. Probate is the process by which a will is given effect upon a person's death. A trust also directs disposition of property upon a person's death, but is often more expensive to establish. A living trust requires transfer of assets to the trust during the owner's lifetime to be effective. |
|
Probate and Trust Administration
Losing a loved one is never easy, and the difficulty is magnified when you are named to administer their estate or trust and have to manage their finances, properties, and creditors. At times, this can even lead to disagreements and arguing over how to distribute the property. We have the knowledge and experience to take away part of that burden and make the process as easy as possible during your difficult time. |
|
Protect Your Assets from Nursing Home Costs
It's a shame when families save for years, only to find out that their life savings are at risk if their health fails. Nursing home costs can run $7,000 per month or more, and your entire life's savings could be gone in a matter of months if you or your loved one needs nursing home care. Smart, informed families are discovering that there are still steps they can take to protect their assets, but they must act before a crisis occurs. |
