Estate Planning: Our attorneys are pleased to offer legal expertise in all aspects of planning for a client's future and the futures of the ones they love, by working with them to create Trusts, Wills, Living Wills, Durable Powers of Attorney, and other planning vehicles appropriate to their circumstances. Our attorneys understand that every client's most important estate planning goals are to ensure that his or her personal matters and financial affairs are handled appropriately, efficiently and economically upon his or her death or disability. Goals common to most clients include minimizing expense, avoiding delay in use of funds, loss of privacy and loss of control, while maximizing protection of assets and ease of administration. We assist clients in determining their goals and objectives and provide them with customized estate plans that are designed to protect them and their families while also making certain that their desires and objectives are reflected within the plan. Our attorneys explain the various estate planning tools and devices as well as the benefits of a carefully conceived estate plan in "plain English," making sure that our clients are comfortable with the services they are receiving and that they understand both the actual documents and the purpose of each document used to implement their goals. Our experience and expertise often enable our clients to reduce or eliminate estate, gift and inheritance taxes and to avoid probate. We strive to develop lifelong relationships with our clients to ensure that their estate plans are reviewed on a regular basis and to make certain that the plan remains consistent with their changing financial and personal circumstances as well as changes in the law.
