Estate Planning is for Everyone
Planning for the future is not solely for retirees but for individuals of all ages. However, as people age, concerns about passing and its implications for loved ones become more prevalent. Despite the uncertainties surrounding life expectancy, illnesses, and unforeseen accidents, engaging in estate planning is an impactful way to effectively safeguard a family’s future.
Many individuals delay estate planning due to misconceptions, believing they don’t own sufficient assets, are not old enough, or perceive it as too costly. However, in the event of unforeseen circumstances, their loved ones are left grappling with the aftermath and navigating a complex legal process.
Our services include:
- Wills: a legal document outlining your preferences for the distribution of your property and assets upon your death.
- Trusts: a financial agreement authorizing a third party (trustee) with fiduciary duties. Trusts explain the precise manner and timing of asset transfer to beneficiaries.
- Testamentary Trust: a trust established following the directives in a will.
- Power of Attorney, (Financial and Health POA): written authorization granting someone the authority to represent or act on behalf of another in both business and personal matters during times of incapacity.
- Living Wills: a legal document in which a person outlines their desired course of action for their health in the event they are unable to make decisions for themselves.
Life is uncertain. The best time to plan is now.
