Essential planning for the next chapter.
Your estate plan should reflect the life you have now, not the one you had before marriage, divorce, or other major changes. We draft wills, powers of attorney, and advance healthcare directives that safeguard your wishes and simplify decisions for those you trust. We also review assets and beneficiary designations for consistency, helping ensure your plan functions smoothly when it matters most.
Estate Planning Documents We Prepare
Will: A will explains how your property should be divided after your death and who is responsible for carrying out those instructions. For parents of minor children, it also allows you to nominate guardians.
Financial Power of Attorney: A financial power of attorney authorizes a trusted person to manage your financial affairs if you become incapacitated. This can include managing accounts, paying bills, and handling property, which can reduce the need for court involvement.
Medical Power of Attorney: A medical power of attorney designates someone to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you’re unable to do so. This gives healthcare providers clear direction about who may speak for you when decisions need to be made quickly.
Advance Healthcare Directive (Living Will): An advance healthcare directive, also known as a “living will,” communicates your wishes regarding life-sustaining treatment in specific medical situations. It provides guidance to family members and medical providers, reducing uncertainty in difficult moments.
Disposition of Last Remains: A disposition of last remains document specifies your wishes for burial, cremation, or other final arrangements. It helps prevent disputes and ensures your preferences are followed.
