Helping You Plan for

Your Future

Estate planning covers a wide range of legal protections put in place to protect your health and assets.


Whether you are young and just starting to plan your estate or you are in need of updating an estate plan, we can help.


Wills & Trusts

A will or trust allows you to make important decisions about how your property and other assets will be handled after your death. We help you draft and amend wills and trusts to clearly document your wishes, provide for the people who matter to you, and ensure your estate is handled according to your intentions. Whether you are preparing your first will/trust or updating an existing one following changes in your family, finances or circumstances, we can help you create a legally sound document that reflects your current wishes.

Power of Attorney

A power of attorney is a document that gives financial and/or medical decision-making authority to someone else on your behalf. You can designate a spouse, a family member or other trusted person to make sound decisions for your healthcare based on documents prepared by you if or when you cannot speak for yourself or to make vital financial decisions should you become incapacitated.

 

We help our clients identify appropriate individuals and draft the proper documentation accordingly.



Health Care Directives

Health care directives allow you to make important decisions about your medical care in advance and identify who can make decisions for you if you become unable to communicate or make those decisions yourself. Having the proper documents in place can help ensure your wishes are understood and provide valuable guidance for your family and health care providers.


Depending on your needs, health care planning may include:


  • Advance Health Care Directive / Living Will – Provides written instructions about the medical treatment and life-sustaining care you would or would not want if you are unable to communicate your wishes.
  • Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care – Allows you to designate a trusted person to make health care decisions on your behalf if you are unable to make them yourself.
  • Mental Health Advance Directive – Allows you to document your preferences regarding mental health treatment and designate someone to make certain decisions on your behalf if necessary.
  • HIPAA Authorization – Authorizes designated individuals to receive or discuss your protected medical information with health care providers.


Planning ahead gives you greater control over your future medical care while helping loved ones understand and honor your wishes when it matters most.
