Estate Planning

estate planningWhat is Estate Planning?

Estate planning is a process involving the counsel of professional advisors who are familiar with your goals and concerns, your assets and how they are owned, and your family structure. It can involve the services of a variety of professionals: such as your lawyer, accountant, financial planner, life insurance advisor, banker, a prepaid funeral plan and a broker.

Estate planning covers the transfer of property at death as well as a variety of other personal matters and may or may not involve tax planning. The core documents most often associated with this process are your will and your trust.

Who needs Estate Planning?

In one word: EVERYONE.  The one thing you are guaranteed in life is death and taxes.  In no particular order when you factor in the estate tax.  Whether you are a parent, a property owner, professional, or an everyday ordinary person, you need to protect your family and assets. We recognize that the decisions we make together as they pertain to the handling of your estate will affect you and your family during your lifetime and for generations to come.  Because those decisions are so important, we give every client the special attention they deserve.
