Wills

A will is a legally executed document that determines how your assets and debts are to be distributed as well as beneficiaries and guardians for minor children. If you die without a will, your estate is intestate. This means the state will conduct asset distribution of your estate in accordance with intestate laws. By getting a well-drafted and executed will, you can have peace of mind knowing your wishes will be carried out according to you.

Trusts

The advantage of a trust is being able to avoid probate. Probate is an administrative process of an estate that can take time and can be costly. Like a will, a trust also allows you to distribute assets. In addition, trusts can help minimize estate taxes.

There are many types of trusts, including revocable and irrevocable trusts as well as:

• Special needs trusts
• Dynasty trusts
• Irrevocable life insurance trusts (ILIT)
• Credit shelter trusts
• Living trusts

We never take cookie-cutter approaches to our clients and always personalize them to the specific circumstance. Let us help you create an estate plan that is tailored to your needs.
