People are often reluctant to think about their own mortality. Their end-of-life plans may affect not only their property but also their ongoing care and futures of their children and grandchildren. Keeping our clients' needs and goals at the forefront of our focus, we will spend the time to advise you through the decisions to be made when planning your estate. We rely on our experience administering estates to be able to better assist you when setting up your plan because we know how plans are administered after you are gone. Our attorneys draft simple wills and trusts to help our clients specify what each of their heirs should receive and avoid the probate process. We also advise on complex plans that may be designed to maximize tax planning and protect gifts from a loved one's creditors.

In addition to addressing our clients' property and assets, we help them prepare for the range of challenges they may face as they age. This includes injuries, illnesses and other factors that may leave you with decreased physical or mental capacity. Our attorneys help people free their loved ones of the burden of having to make difficult medical and care-related decisions by specifying their health and long-term care wishes.

We recognize that creating a plan is only the first step. Passionate about giving our clients peace of mind, we provide estate and probate administration assistance, so those we represent can rest assured that their loved ones will have help in carrying out their wishes. While we are good at administering our own plan, we can also help you handle estates with almost any amount of planning, even if nothing was done beforehand.
