Wills, Trusts & Probate

Estate planning is an effective way to protect your family in the event of sudden injury, disability or death. Careful estate planning — through the use of wills, trusts, powers of attorney, living wills and other estate tools — can accomplish a number of important goals, including:

• Protecting your assets

• Avoiding uncertainty that can cause family conflicts

• Minimizing your exposure to estate taxes

• Distributing your assets to your intended beneficiaries

• Respecting your healthcare wishes should you become incapacitated

We can help you with wills, trusts, guardianships, conservatorships, powers of attorney and living wills and health care directives. We also help resolve probate disputes and, when necessary, represent clients in probate litigation.

Taking proper care when planning your estate is one of the best ways to protect your family's welfare, ensure your wishes are followed, and reduce estate taxes. We give practical advice with sensitivity and compassion. Our experience working with clients from a variety of economic backgrounds is an asset—we tailor estate plans to fit your distinct financial circumstances and provide valuable insight regarding what options best suit your needs.
