No one should put off creating and estate plan. Estate planning is the process of anticipating and arranging for the management and disposal of a person's estate during their life and at and after death, while minimizing gift, estate, generation skipping transfer, and income tax. Estate planning also includes planning for incapacitation. The ultimate goal of estate planning may be as simple or complex as the client's needs dictate. We can help you make sure that your plans are both comprehensive and thorough, in order to optimize your results from the process of being prepared before it is needed.
Generally, estate planning includes the preparation of powers of attorney for finances and healthcare, advance directives for end of life issues, and wills and trusts to control the administration and distribution of assets. Additionally, because many individuals have retirement plans, life insurance and other types of assets with beneficiary designations, estate planning requires the coordination of these assets with the individuals will and/or trusts.
