Our Estate Planning Services 

Our estate planning services include but are not limited to the following:

• Wills. A will, also known as a last will and testament, is a legal document that outlines your wishes regarding the distribution of your property and the care of any minor children after your death. It allows you to specify who will inherit your assets, such as real estate, personal belongings, and financial investments. Additionally, a will can designate guardians for your minor children, ensuring they are cared for by someone you trust.
• Trusts. A trust is a legal arrangement where one party, known as the trustee, holds and manages assets on behalf of another party, called the beneficiary. The person who creates the trust, known as the grantor or settlor, transfers ownership of their assets into the trust. Trusts can include various types of assets, such as real estate, bank accounts, investments, and personal property. There are different types of trusts, including revocable and irrevocable trusts, each serving specific purposes and offering various benefits.
• Power Of Attorney. A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that grants someone else, known as the agent or attorney-in-fact, the authority to act on your behalf in various matters. This can include managing your finances, making healthcare decisions, or handling other personal affairs. There are different types of POAs, such as durable, which remains in effect even if you become incapacitated, and springing, which only takes effect under specific conditions.
