Estate Planning and Elder Law.

• Preparation of Wills and Trusts - Reviewing your family structure and financial situation to prepare necessary estate documents to transfer your assets to your intended beneficiaries, with a view to minimizing federal and state taxes.
• Preparation of Powers of Attorney - A Durable Power of Attorney document permits you to appoint someone to handle your financial and medical matters in the event you become incapacitated by illness or injuries.
• Living Wills - An Advance Directive or Living Will enables you to direct your health care providers to withhold treatment in the event that you are in a permanent coma or suffer from a terminal illness.
• Nursing Home Planning - We help our clients develop strategies to protect your assets from being lost to a nursing home. This is an increasingly changing area of the law, and we must navigate the many federal and state rules when transferring assets to family members.
