Wills
A will is a written document that specifies how a person’s property will be distributed after death. A will takes effect upon death and can be revoked or amended by the testator.
We understand the importance of having a valid will. Our attorneys can assist you in creating a comprehensive will that ensures your wishes are executed appropriately.

A living trust is a legal document that holds ownership of an individual’s assets during their lifetime. The purpose of a living trust is to avoid the probate process and retain privacy.
Our attorneys can assist you in creating a revocable trust, which allows you to maintain full control of your assets and change or revoke the trust during your lifetime. Our firm also creates irrevocable trusts, which can provide various tax benefits and asset protection.
FAQs
FAQ 1. Who needs an estate plan?
Estate planning is not just for the wealthy or those with a lot of assets. It is for anyone who wants to ensure their assets are distributed according to their wishes after passing away. This includes making sure that your loved ones are taken care of and that any debts are paid off.
Additionally, an estate plan provides instructions for how you want your medical care to be handled if you become incapacitated. This can include designating a healthcare proxy to make decisions for you if you are unable to make them yourself.
Everyone’s life circumstances are different, which is why we provide personalized solutions for our clients. We take the time to understand your unique situation and goals and create a plan that fits your needs.
