In our estate planning practice, we begin our representation by examining your estate and helping you clarify your goals. Are you most concerned about minimizing the complexity of the transfer of your assets, thereby alleviating a lot of the stress on your loved ones? Are you concerned about avoiding the probate process or reducing exposure to estate taxes? Though we don't provide extensive tax counsel in estate matters, we will work closely with your accountant or refer you to one, so that we know we are doing things properly.
Once we have identified your objectives, we will help you select and implement the strategies necessary to accomplish your estate planning objectives. If your primary objective is to ensure that your assets are distributed to specific beneficiaries, we will draft the required legal instruments to implement your plan, including:
- Simple wills
- Trusts
- Revocable and irrevocable trusts
- Living and testamentary trusts
- Special needs trusts, such as educational trusts
- Powers of attorney
- Medical care directives
If you have minor children, we will help you identify who will have guardianship, should the children be left without a parent. We can also help you devise a plan that ensures that your children won't be overwhelmed by the receipt of a large estate before they have the maturity to effectively manage it.
