Estate planning is more complicated than simply drafting or revising a will.  A complex estate may include trust funds, businesses and business assets, real property, life insurance policies, retirement plans, pending inheritances and other gifts, financial resources, and other assets and property to be distributed to your chosen beneficiaries.  We are competent in the art of minimizing estate taxes (aka, death taxes) while ensuring that you assets will be distributed according to your precise wishes with minimal or no interference or delay.

Planning for incapacity, however difficult to consider, is a key concern of getting older.  Our attorneys can help you navigate the difficult decisions of determining your medical care and financial decision in the event that you should become unable to do so yourself.  We compassionately help clients prepare for old age and illness through the use of such legal documents as health care powers of attorney, living wills and health care directives, guardianships, and conservatorships.
