• Wills
  Our services range from simple wills and tax preparation to complex multi-generational estate and tax planning. Whatever your needs, we pride ourselves on the personal attention we provide to each client.
• Trusts
  Generally, most clients need at least a Will, an Advance Medical Directive (or Living Will), and a Durable Power of Attorney. Depending on your circumstances and objectives, we may also recommend a Revocable Trust, a Testamentary Trust, an Irrevocable Trust, a Charitable Remainder Trust, or a combination of them. We will listen to your needs and goals and tailor a plan accordingly, taking into account estate and income tax ramifications. Although the planning process may seem complicated at first, we strive to make our documents understandable for our clients, and to avoid unnecessary or costly complications.
