Comprehensive Estate Planning Services Designed for Your Unique Needs
An individually crafted estate plan can provide you and your family members with peace of mind, emotional ease, and an effective method for getting your legal affairs in order. An estate plan ensures that your assets are distributed according to your wishes.
We understand that estate planning needs vary from client to client. Our attorneys provide personalized attention to each and every client based on their unique situation and goals. We take a hands-on approach to help clients understand every step they take and every option they have along the way.
The Common Manner of Passing on Assets
Without a will, the state determines who will get your assets based on its "cookie-cutter," "one-size-fits-all" intestacy law. This oftentimes leads to an undesirable result that the decedent did not envision during his or her lifetime.
Not Just for the Really Wealthy
Our firm can establish trusts that include revocable trusts, irrevocable trusts, special or supplemental needs trusts, and insurance trusts. Trusts can bring advantages to an estate plan for a wide range of people. Gerry Woods has an LL.M. in tax, a distinction that is particularly useful in tax planning to minimize or eliminate federal estate taxes.
Financial and Health Care Decision Making
A financial (or property) power of attorney allows you to designate a trusted person to make decisions on your behalf with respect to the management and disposition of your property and assets. A health care power of attorney designates a trusted person to make health care decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated.
End-of-Life Decision Guidance
An advance directive (a.k.a. "living will") can ensure the end-of-life decisions that are made on your behalf in the event of your incapacitation are the decisions you wanted. Your family members can be spared the difficulty of making this decision without your instructions or guidance.
We take a hands-on approach to help clients understand every step they take and every option they have along the way. Our goal is to ensure you feel confident and informed about your estate planning decisions.
