WHY YOU NEED US TO HANDLE YOUR ESTATE PLAN
Having a solid Estate Plan provides peace of mind. It ensures that your affairs are properly handled while you are alive, during incapacity and after your death. It will also minimize taxes and expenses, simplify the transfer of your assets at your death and ensure the right people properly handle your estate and that your beneficiaries receive what you have planned.
We understand that an Estate Plan is personal, and with careful listening to your needs and wishes, we help you create documents tailored to your situation. We do not create cookie-cutter Estate Plans like you might find from a “Trust Mill,” which often do not work as expected. We stay up to date with current laws so you can feel confident that your Estate Plan is done correctly and will work just as you intended.
To find out more about how we can help you, we offer a complementary initial consultation. During the pandemic this meeting will be held via phone, email or video chat.
