- Estate PlanningI start by assessing your needs and risk exposure for estate planning and business planning. Everyone’s risk and assets are different, and I need to explore your activities, exposure, and assets ownership and structure to develop a plan. Based on our review, I develop a plan for you to review and discuss with you.
- WillsA Last Will and Testament is a document that describes how property you hold in your name on the date of your death will be distributed through the local court in the county of your residence at the time of your death. Your wishes about a variety of subjects following your death can be addressed in the Will, including the distribution of your property, care of minor children, and burial wishes. A Will helps you remove doubt about your desires on the points included in the Will, therefore reducing the chances of disputes among your beneficiaries, to the extent that your property is controlled by your Will on your death. A Will allows your property to more easily be distributed to and by the persons you choose than if you have no Will.
- TrustsWhen a person dies, part of placing their affairs in order is to administer their estate; this is simply the legal term for collecting, cataloging and managing their possessions, including liquid assets, real estate, personal belongings, and stocks. During administration, the person in charge of managing these items pays any outstanding debts or taxes and then distributes the remaining property to the heirs of the estate. In many cases, the person in charge of administering the estate is known as the executor. Depending on how the estate has been managed, it may go into probate or trust administration.
- Power of AttorneyAs to the documents provided by us in your estate plan, I believe in a holistic estate plan, and in the typical situation without special needs and without a Trust this includes a Last Will and Testament, possibly a Living Will, a Health Care Directive, HIPAA Waiver, and Financial Power of Attorney. There are common variations that include other documents, such as a pet trust or revocable trust, and sometimes changes in ownership documents to complete your plan.
