Wills, Trusts & Estate Planning

Planning for your future should involve a solid estate plan which includes a carefully drafted Will and advance directives to protect you and your family in the event of your incapacity or death.

For parents of young children, it is important that you choose and name Guardians in your Wills that would be legally responsible to care for your children should there be no surviving parent. Without a named guardian, the probate court would appoint a legal guardian who may not be your preferred choice.

When your Will is drafted, we will also include the preparation of a Durable Power of Attorney, Health Care Proxy and Living Will.

A Durable Power of Attorney aids in planning for your incapacity. A Power of Attorney allows another person to have full legal authority to act on your behalf should you become unable to attend to your own personal and financial affairs.

A Health Care Proxy is a legal document in which you appoint an individual of your choice to make decisions on your behalf with regards to your health care options if you are unable to make such decisions yourself.

A Living Will allows you to specify in detail the terms of medical treatment that you do or do not wish to have in the event of your incapacitation, such as withholding life support and artificial nutrition when you are terminally ill.

A person's estate consists of all his or her property and possessions. When planned in advance, an estate can easily be passed on after death, and also be subject to fewer taxes.
