Wills

Why Do I Need a Will?

Regardless of whether you are just starting out in your career or facing retirement after years of hard work, a will is essential when planning for your family's financial future. Understanding how to draft a will to avoid certain kinds of taxes, pass on a family-owned business and ensure children from a previous marriage receive their inheritance requires an up-to-date knowledge of the law.

Working with tax experts and accountants when necessary, we evaluate your financial situation, explain legal concerns regarding health care directives and identify legally sound strategies to protect your assets.

Choosing an Estate Plan that Works for You

Every personal and familial situation is different. Depending on your needs and preferences, our office can advise and assist you in developing or revising an estate plan incorporating any of the following:

• Simple wills
• Health care proxies
• Powers of attorney
• Health care directives and living wills
• Wills to include life partners
• Special wills regarding property and businesses
• By-pass trusts, also called unified credit trusts

Many of our clients don't realize their own wealth, so we explain how unified credit trusts and complex tax-saving wills can help you take full advantage of the law to minimize the amount of death taxes.
