Our Estate Planning Services Include:
We draft clear, legally sound wills to ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes. We also help you create and fund a revocable living trust to bypass probate, maintain privacy, and simplify the transfer of assets.
If you want flexibility and control over your assets during your lifetime, a revocable trust may be the right fit. Our team can help you create a trust that avoids probate, allowing you to make changes as needed while ensuring a smooth transfer of assets when the time comes.
For stronger asset protection, especially when planning for long-term care, an irrevocable trust may be the better choice. We also provide guidance on Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts, which can help shield your assets from nursing home expenses while maintaining your eligibility for benefits.
Plan ahead by appointing trusted individuals to manage your financial and healthcare decisions if you’re unable to do so.
We help families establish special needs trusts to care for loved ones with disabilities without jeopardizing their eligibility for essential government benefits.
Through strategic trusts and legal tools, we help shield your assets from creditors and nursing home expenses.
