Estate Planning
Estate planning involves creating a comprehensive strategy to manage and distribute your assets in a manner aligned with your wishes after you pass away. This often includes the preparation of documents such as wills, trusts, and powers of attorney.
Probate Administration
Probate administration is the legal process of validating and executing a deceased person's will. It involves settling debts, distributing assets, and ensuring that the deceased's final wishes are carried out according to the law.
Long-term Care Planning
Long-term care planning addresses future health and financial considerations, ensuring individuals are prepared for potential medical needs as they age. This may involve strategies for financing and accessing appropriate care, taking into account potential long-term health expenses.
Establishing and Maintaining Your Will
Wills are are essential and will outline how a person's assets should be distributed upon their death. They may also designate guardians for minor children and specify other wishes, providing a crucial foundation for estate planning.
Preparing a Trust
We'll help prepare these legal arrangements allowing a third party, or trustee, to hold assets on behalf of beneficiaries. Trusts provide flexibility in managing and distributing assets, often avoiding the probate process and offering more control over the distribution of an estate.
Personal Power of Attorney
A power of attorney grants someone the legal authority to act on your behalf in financial or legal matters. This can be especially important in situations where an individual becomes incapacitated or unable to make decisions.
Advanced Will and Directive
An advanced directive, or living will, outlines an individual's preferences for medical treatment in case they become unable to communicate their wishes. It guides healthcare decisions and may include preferences regarding life-sustaining treatments, organ donation, and other critical medical choices.
