Estate Planning

Estate Planning

Estate Planning done properly addresses all of the issues concerning the ownership, management, preservation and transfer of your Family Wealth. An Estate Plan includes not only Wills and Trusts, but also a wide variety of other methods of transferring property in the event of death, all of which have to be carefully coordinated. Planning for disability through powers of attorney is also important, and careful attention must be paid to the Special Needs of disabled family members.
