Estate Planning

The best time to start planning your estate is when you’re young and healthy. Life can be full of surprises, and you’ll want to be prepared for whatever comes your way, for good or for ill. If you don’t have any significant assets, you still need a plan.

With years of expertise in estate planning, we can guide you through this very personal – and sometimes emotional – process of making a will, or setting up a trust or durable power of attorney that meets your specific needs.

When we complete the planning process, you’ll have secured the future of your loved ones, pets, property, and valuables, and you’ll have the documentation you need to direct your own future care if you’re unable to speak for yourself.

Estate planning is just one of those things that all responsible adults need to do. Give us a call, and let’s get started.

Elder Law

The elderly often need legal support to resolve issues that are unique to their stage in life. If you’re retired, you’re in good health, and you have adequate resources, this is the perfect time to start planning for your own long-term care, should that need ever arise. We have many years of experience in helping seniors to plan for a secure future. We’re here for you, too. Don’t hesitate to call.

If you’re caring for an elderly parent, family member, or friend, or you are simply concerned about that person’s future, let’s set up a time when we can start planning. We’ll help you plan for the care and assistance that may be needed to enable your loved one to live in comfort and security.

We understand that these discussions may be awkward or upsetting, and we can help with that, too. Just give us a call. It’s best not to put this off any longer.

Special Needs

If you are responsible for the care of an individual with special needs, you need a special plan. That specific person has unique abilities and limitations, and you want to create the appropriate framework for a secure future.

We’ll guide you through the tough decisions about guardianship or conservatorship, living arrangements, long-term care options, asset management, and social services, so that your special person can continue to live well even if you are not available.

If you already have a plan for your special-needs individual, it may be time to review and update it as that person matures and changes. Give us a call, and let’s figure it out together.

Planning for peace of mind.
