Estate Planning
- Develop a plan to minimize estate tax liability and avoid probate as much as possible, as well as preserve and increase the value of your estate enabling you to pass as much of your wealth as possible on to your intended heirs.
- Planning what medical treatment you will receive if you ever become incapacitated to the point that you are unable to communicate your wishes, as well as determining the medical facility which will provide the care and naming the person who will communicate your wishes to physicians and other medical staff.
- Determining who will handle your financial, personal, business and legal affairs if you ever become incapacitated, as well as how your affairs will be dealt with.
- Directing how children and/or other loved ones will be provided for, in the event you are no longer able to provide for them due to your incapacitation or death.
- Drafting and periodically updating your final arrangements document to express your death and burial preferences, as well as setting up a trust fund and/or pre-need plan to pay for them (saving your loved ones from the anguish of having to make these decisions in a bereaved state while financially burdened with the expenses involved).
- Administration of your estate after your death.
