Estate Planning

Everyone should have an estate plan.

You need to choose the individuals who will act on your behalf with respect to your health care decisions and financial decisions during your lifetime and how your assets will ultimately pass to your heirs.

Basic estate planning includes the creation of a will, health care proxy, living will and power of attorney.

More complex planning includes the creation of trusts to:

• Avoid probate;

• Protect assets from creditors;

• Minimize estate tax;

• Protect assets from a spendthrift beneficiary;

• Protect minor and or disabled children;

• Reduce the opportunity for litigation;

• Plan for future medicaid eligibility;

• Plan for blended families,
