Estate Planning

We prepare your Will to provide for your loved ones, and advise you on health care planning. We can also prepare more complex legal arrangements to achieve your financial goals for both family and business.

Our legal services include:

  • Wills
  • Incapacity and health care planning:
    • Powers of Attorney
    • Representation Agreements and Advance Directives (also known as a “living will”)
    • Committeeship (appointing a guardian for an incapable adult)
  • Trusts for adult children who need extra safeguards because of:
    • Spouses or ex-spouses who could claim against your estate
    • Addiction or disabilities
  • Gifts to charity and gifts during your lifetime
  • Joint tenancy and tenancy-in-common
  • Business succession and corporate reorganizations
  • Advice on the tax consequences of your estate plan
