Last Will and Testament

A will is a fundamentally important document in estate planning. It outlines your wishes and the family members or people you’d like to leave assets to after your death. Help support them and give them peace of mind that they’ll be taken care of when their time comes.

Trust Formation and Administration

A trust is a way of protecting your property and family, and of making sure that the assets you have are distributed according to your wishes. A funded trust will also allow you to avoid probate when someone dies, and will contain provisions if you become incapacitated.

Durable Power of Attorney

Our estate planning attorneys can provide legal advice and assist in drafting you one of the two most common forms of DPOA: 

Healthcare Power of Attorney

Healthcare Power of Attorney (HPOA) is another estate planning tool that gives someone you trust the legal authority to make decisions for your health care if you are not able to do so yourself and can include decisions involving life-sustaining treatment. 

Financial Power of Attorney

A financial power of attorney is an important document that helps ensure someone you trust will be able to make decisions for you financially if you are not able to do so. 

It would be pertinent to discuss with your estate planning attorney as the person you choose to have as your financial power of attorney will be able to help with issues such as paying bills, managing investments, and other typical financial tasks.

Revocable Living Trusts

A revocable living trust is another popular estate planning option that you are able to manage your assets in the trust during your lifetime and then allows for your estate to be passed on when you die.

Quite often people use revocable living trusts to avoid probate court.  Probate court can be a lengthy (sometimes 2 years) process that is expensive, and very often a huge pain for people.  Revocable living trusts are also very flexible and can be modified, changed, or “revoked”  by their creator. 

Life Insurance Trusts

Life insurance trusts are a unique way to plan for the future while still being able to enjoy your life.  Life insurance trusts allow you to make your trust the legal owner of your insurance policy.  This declares your beneficiary designation as the owner in one or more life insurance policies on your life, which will provide benefits from those policies when you die.   A life insurance trust is often set up in a way that allows you to control the tax treatment of the benefits.

Guardianship and Conservatorship

Guardianship and conservatorships are legal arrangements that involve appointing a guardian or conservator to care for your children, elderly loved ones, disabled adults, mentally ill persons, people who are temporarily incapacitated.  This type of arrangement helps protect mistreatment, abuse, or exploitation of a vulnerable individual.

A conservator manages assets for people who are no longer able to do so for themselves.  This is often done for people who are permanently incapacitated and unable to manage their own affairs.

Private Charitable Foundations and Trusts

A private charitable trust or foundation is a way to donate money and assets in order to provide for social welfare.  These trusts are often set up by people who want to contribute to care for the needs of others as this form of estate planning allows contributors to enjoy tax breaks while still accomplishing their desired results.
