ESTATE PLANNING STRATEGIES

ESTATE PLANNING STRATEGIES

Leave A Lasting Legacy

Planning for your wealth when you are no longer here is one of the most selfless acts you can complete while living. With forethought, your assets can foster and encourage a strong work ethic, happiness, good health, and financial opportunities, while easing burdens related to healthcare, education, housing, or support as you determine.

Together with your attorney, we can help craft your legacy plan, aligning your goals with your values, centered on helping your beneficiaries lead productive, satisfying, and meaningful lives, or to take risks and seek opportunities that may otherwise be beyond their reach.

Areas of focus:

  • Estate planning strategies
  • Preparing your heirs
  • Charitable planning

Your estate’s distribution should be overseen by people who you choose and trust. With proper planning you can prepare for the unexpected and can significantly reduce the impact of taxes on your estate. Our process, built on a deep understanding of your estate planning goals, provides checks and balances to help ensure impartial and reasonable execution of your plan, addressing imperatives such as:

  • Tax Reduction Strategies
  • Healthcare/special needs planning
  • Protection from creditors or the potential divorce of your children
  • Financial imprudence
