Estate Planning Services
Protecting Your Legacy, Providing Peace of Mind.
Wills
A legally sound Last Will and Testament ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes and that important decisions—such as guardianship of children—are clearly outlined.
Trusts
Trusts offer added flexibility and privacy when managing and transferring your assets. Whether you’re looking to avoid probate, plan for a loved one with special needs, or protect your estate from creditors, we’ll help you select and structure the correct type of trust.
Power Of Attorney
Designating someone you trust to make financial or medical decisions on your behalf is an essential part of protecting your interests in the event of incapacity.
Estate Plan Reviews
Life changes—and so should your estate plan. We help you review and revise your documents as your family, finances, or goals evolve.
Advance Health Care Directives
Also known as living wills, these documents ensure your healthcare preferences are respected and followed when you’re unable to voice them yourself.

Estate Planning FAQs
When Should I start Estate Planning?
It’s never too early to start. Life is unpredictable, and having an estate plan in place ensures that your wishes are honored no matter what. Major life events like getting married, having children, buying property, or starting a business are ideal times to begin or update your plan.
What happens if I don’t have an estate plan?
If you pass away without an estate plan, your assets will be distributed according to state law—regardless of your personal wishes. This can lead to delays, family disputes, and unintended outcomes. An estate plan puts you in control.
Do I need a will or a trust—or both?
That depends on your specific needs. A will outlines your wishes after death, while a trust can help manage your assets during your life and avoid probate after death. We’ll help you decide which tools make the most sense for your situation.
How often should I update my Estate Plan?
You should review your estate plan every few years or after major life changes—such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, a significant asset purchase, or the death of a beneficiary or executor.
Is estate planning only for wealthy individuals?
Not at all. Estate planning is for anyone who wants to make sure their affairs are in order, no matter the size of their estate. It’s about protecting what you have and making things easier for the people you care about.
