ESTATE PLANNING
Having a comprehensive estate plan is important because it allows you to make sure your assets will be distributed to your loved ones after your death. The estate plan can also protect minor dependants, protect assets from creditors, reduce tax liability, avoid probate and create a legacy for future generations. We will work with you to create an estate plan that will accomplish the goals most important to you.
A basic estate plan consists of:
Last Will and Testament
Durable Power of Attorney
Health Care Proxy
Living Will
Declaration of Homestead
Revocable and Irrevocable Trusts:
A Trust is a fiduciary arrangement that allows a third party (Trustee) to hold assets on behalf of a beneficiary or beneficiaries. Trusts can be arranged in many ways and can specify exactly how and when the assets pass to the beneficiaries. Trusts are usually set up to bypass the need for any probate action. Trusts can be created to meet any need or goals you may have whether it be asset protection, tax reduction or creating a legacy. There are many types of trusts which can be tailored to meet your needs. The follwoing ar a few types of trusts we used to meet your goals.
