Estate & Trust Planning

Nobody likes to think about the possibility of not being able to handle your own affairs due to illness or incapacity. However, if the day comes when assistance is needed, you want to make sure that you have the proper documents in place to make it easy for your family members to act on your behalf. We can assist with the preparation of advanced planning documents such as Durable Powers of Attorney, Health Care Surrogates, and Living Wills. We can also prepare a Last Will & Testament that designates how you want your estate to be distributed upon your death. In addition, our firm can prepare trusts that give instruction as to the handling of your financial affairs and avoid the need for the probate of your estate upon your passing.
