Many important tools used for effective estate planning have familiar names, while others may not. They all work in combination as needed to ensure that each part of your wishes is carried out within the requirements of the law, making things easier for your beneficiaries. An effective estate plan may also reduce taxes that impact property and inheritance transfers.
Some of the essential documents we often prepare for clients include:
- Wills and trusts
- Advance healthcare directives, also described as a living will
- Power of attorney for financial matters and healthcare decisions
- Estate administration and probate of wills to handle the affairs of deceased persons
- Special needs trusts
We also represent clients who need to probate a will or administer the estate of a deceased person. We represent those named in wills as personal representatives of estates and those with a property interest in the management of a deceased person’s estate.
