Estate Planning
The goal of estate planning is to distribute your estate in the manner you desire when, how, and under what conditions you want. We also provide guidance on healthcare wishes, appropriate funeral arrangements, and plan for the guardianship of minor children. In addition, we work with our clients to minimize the tax burden of their estate, protect the estate from creditors, and preserve the estate for the intended beneficiaries. Importantly, we advise our clients on ways to pass property outside of the probate court system to make the estate administration more efficient and less time-consuming.
