Estate Planning Services
We provide a full range of estate planning services to support your choices, protect yourself and your family and to establish and secure your legacy.
Wills
A will is a legal document that outlines how a person's assets and affairs should be handled after their passing. It ensures that your wishes are honored, provides clarity for loved ones, and can help avoid disputes among family members. By having a will, you can designate guardians for minor children and specify beneficiaries for your estate, giving you peace of mind that your legacy protected.
Trusts
A trust is a legal document that allows one party to hold assets for the benefit of another. It provides a way to manage and protect your assets, ensuring they are distributed according to your wishes after your passing. Trusts can also help avoid probate, reduce estate taxes, and offer privacy for your financial affairs. By setting up a trust, you gain peace of mind knowing your loved ones are taken care of.
Power of Attorney
A power of attorney is a legal document that allows one person to act behalf of another in legal, financial or health matters. It is important because it ensures that decisions can be made when an individual is unable to do so themselves, whether due to illness, travel, or other circumstances. This arrangement provides peace of mind, knowing that someone trusted can manage essential affairs effectively. Additionally it can help prevent disputes among family members during challenging times.
