A personally tailored estate plan that fits your needs
No single tool or formula fits every family’s unique circumstances or satisfies each client’s personal needs. You may require only a simple will, for which we charge a reasonable flat rate to draft. To protect minor children, we design a plan that includes naming guardians and setting up trusts that provide for their financial welfare. If your family includes a member with a disability, we can structure a special needs trust to protect your loved one. Our lawyers develop sophisticated tax strategies to access tax deductions, exclusions and exemptions during your life and save your family death taxes after you pass.
