This service involves helping clients plan for the distribution of their assets and property after they pass away. A will is typically the cornerstone of any estate plan, but a good estate plan may also include other documents such as trusts, powers of attorney, and advance directives.
A will is a legal document that outlines how a person’s assets should be distributed after their death. A trust, on the other hand, is a legal arrangement in which a trustee holds assets for the benefit of a beneficiary. Powers of attorney and advance directives allow clients to appoint someone to make decisions on their behalf in the event of incapacity or illness.
An estate planning attorney can help clients create a customised plan based on their unique circumstances and goals. Our estate planning services are designed to help you protect and distribute your assets in the way you want. We take the time to understand your unique circumstances and goals, and work with you to create an estate plan that suits your needs.
For instance, we recently helped a client who had a blended family create a trust that allowed them to distribute their assets fairly while protecting the interests of their children and stepchildren.
