Last Will and Testament ▪ Living Will
A will is an important tool in any estate plan, as it provides instructions to the court regarding the distribution of your properties, powers of attorney, beneficiaries, healthcare decisions, and guardian designations for your children. In essence, it is a way to ensure that people understand your intentions after your death. For example, it will help ensure that your partner remains the owner of your home, and the guardian of your child.
Estate Planning Trusts
A trust is an important estate planning tool which allows you to avoid probate and minimize the taxes levied against your estate. A trust affords you control over your property during your life. It is also an effective way to avoid confusion regarding property ownership. Here are some examples of the trusts which our firm creates:
- Charitable Trusts
- Life Insurance Trusts
- Revocable Trusts
- Pet Trusts
- Special need trusts
