- Limited Liability Companies
- Estate PlanningEstate planning is not an obscure process reserved for the very wealthy. Unless you make plans for yourself and your loved ones in the event of your disability or death, your family will have to follow the plans dictated by state law, regardless of the size of your estate. Failure to make your own plans almost always ends up costing more than a properly designed estate plan.
- TrustsSome clients have additional needs such as minimizing estate taxes or asset protection. Such estate planning tools as irrevocable life insurance trusts, charitable trusts and family limited partnerships or limited liability companies might be appropriate additions to their estate plan.
- Power of AttorneyEach client's situation is unique, so my approach is to help clients think through the appropriate elements of their estate planning. For some, a will-based plan is appropriate, while others may have circumstances that suggest a revocable living trust. All estate plans include "ancillary documents" such as a General Durable Power of Attorney for legal and financial matters, and an Advance Directive for Health Care (appointing your health care agents when you are unable to communicate and expressing your wishes about life support).
