We prepare and provide legal advice regarding:

 Estate planning with a lawyer practicing within the field is essential for any person who wishes to pass on an inheritance in the way he or she chooses. Additionally, as the laws of estates vary widely from state to state, especially in terms of spousal obligations, those who wish to leave more or less to their spouse and family, must plan carefully, with good legal advice.

All too often, people make the mistake of doing their estate planning by themselves, thinking that their own legal knowledge will be sufficient. This is often a mistake, because the misuse of even a single word can change the legal impact of the estate plan. Trusts are tricky, especially when they are not properly funded. Additionally, if the deceased does not make their will or trust absolutely clear, they may not be able to pass on their wealth in the manner they intended. 

Satisfying long-term effects of proper estate planning can be accomplished at our firm.   It is important to remember that persons who are part owners of a business may find themselves needing to use very particular and specific legal terms and language in order to ensure that the business is run according to their wishes well into the future.

If you already have estate planning in place and simply want to update your documents or make changes, we can assist in a review and any necessary amendments.
