Estate Planning
Estate Planning involves planning for the management of your personal affairs, both financial and medical, in the event of your incapacity, and for the disposition of your assets upon your death.

Living Trusts
A Living Trust is a legal document, created during a person’s lifetime, whereby the person’s property is transferred to the trust and held and administered in accordance with the terms of the trust.

Wills
A Will is a legal document that allows you to direct the distribution of your assets, appoint the individual you want to carry out your wishes, and nominate a guardian for minor children.

Power Of Attorney
A Power of Attorney is a document that allows you to give another individual the authority to handle your financial affairs on your behalf. A “durable” Power of Attorney remains in effect upon your incapacity.

Advance Health Care Directive
An Advance Health Care Directive (or durable power of attorney for health care) is a document that allows you to appoint another individual to make health care decisions for you when you are no longer able to do so for yourself.

Probate
Many people mistakenly believe Probate is a tax. It is not. Probate is a court supervised proceeding where a Judge oversees the administration of a person’s estate.

Trust Administration
Trust Administration refers to the process that occurs when the person who creates the trust (“trustor”) dies. The individual you select as your successor trustee will “administer” the trust, which unlike probate, is done privately and without court supervision.
