Estate planning is one of those responsibilities that it always seems acceptable to push to another day. This leads many families into difficult situations where a loved one has passed on and left an unsettled estate. Families in these situations are burdened with the need to settle so many details when they should be allowed to come together and grieve.
Our firm is here to offer experienced guidance on all elder law and estate-related issues such as:
- Wills and trusts — Estate planning instruments like trusts and wills offer different ways to approach the question of what becomes of your assets and property when you die. Each has distinct advantages that we can help you understand.
- Powers of attorney — A power of attorney allows you to identify people you trust to make important financial and health care decisions for you if you should become incapacitated.
- Advance healthcare directives, health care proxies and living wills — Everyone wants to stay in control of their own health care choices. We can use different methods to ensure that people know what you would want in terms of medical care and end-of-life choices.
