Our Practice Areas
WILLS, TRUSTS, AND ESTATE PLANNING
Whether you choose a Will or a Trust, estate planning is an important step in protecting your family should you become incapacitated or die. Proper estate planning allows you to give what you have to whom you want, when you want, the way you want and at the most cost and tax efficient manner possible.
PROBATE AND TRUST ADMINISTRATION
Probate is a court administered process of gathering and accounting for a decedent’s assets, assuring that valid debts are paid and distributing the remaining assets to the decedent’s heirs. Trust administration is, generally, a process not supervised by a court, which accomplishes the same goals but at a much reduced cost and within a much shorter period of time.
Our Mission Statement
We recognize that estate planning is an intensely personal experience that deals with matters of life, death, dignity, property and family, and the legal and emotional issues which surround these matters. We will therefore take the time necessary to truly listen and understand your needs and goals, your family dynamics and your property issues. We’ll explain the applicable laws and your options so that you can properly design and fully understand your estate plan so that it achieves your goals and protects your family. We will make this process very manageable, by guiding you through each step.
We approach estate planning as an opportunity to help our clients take control in deciding how and when to share their legacy with those they love and the charities that are meaningful to them.
Our firm prides itself in its attention to the individual needs of our clients.
Just as no two families are the same, so too no two estate plans are the same. Each plan is custom-designed to reflect the beliefs, values, needs and goals of each client.
We work with our clients to design personalized plans that reflect their own unique situation, while putting our knowledge and experience to work for their benefit. The result of such thoughtful planning is an estate plan that works. Our plans promote harmony within the family and provide a lasting legacy that will continue to reflect our clients’ values and ideals for generations to come.
