Estate Planning

Estate planning involves a relationship of trust between the attorney and the client whereby the attorney, in a confidential environment, listens to your unique needs and advises you on securing your legacy through various means, including:

• Providing for your loved ones after your death;
• Reduction or elimination of wealth transfer taxes over multiple generations;
• Protection of family wealth from future, unknown creditors of you and your heirs;
• Optimization of charitable giving;
• Securing the future of a family business through succession planning;
• Preservation of family privacy; and
• Empowering appropriate agents to act in your best interests in the event of your incapacity.
