Estate Planning

Estate planning is about more than just drafting a last will and testament. While a will is a good starting point, a comprehensive estate plan will address multiple contingencies, including your preferences regarding life-sustaining medical care, asset transfers, naming one or more guardians for you and your estate in the event of your incompetency, and retirement needs. In addition, most clients want to minimize the administrative costs and hassle for their surviving loved ones by utilizing probate and tax avoidance strategies.
