Estate Planning
Estate planning is the best protection for your home, real property and financial assets in the event of your death. Estate planning includes the creation of a will or in certain cases, a trust, as well as tax planning for both your income and estate taxes. Other aspects of estate planning may involve healthcare directives or a power of attorney in the event of incapacity.
Wills
One of the most important aspects of an estate plan is a properly structured, executed and witnessed will. A will is a public record which specifies how your assets are to be overseen and distributed.

Trusts
A trust ensures your assets bypass the time-consuming and occasionally unpredictable probate courts which preserves your estate and saves money. A trust is a three-party fiduciary relationship in which the trustor gives the trustee, the right to manage the use and access of an asset for the benefit of a third party, the beneficiary. Furthermore, unlike a will which is public record, a trust is not and therefore provides additional privacy.

We create revocable and irrevocable trusts either executable upon death known as testamentary or living trusts also called inter vivos.
Wills and Trusts
The first step is a consultation to examine your estate and discuss both wills and trusts. Together we determine which will best serve your unique needs and wishes.
