Estate Planning protects your family, your assets, and your legacy. An estate plan gives one more control over the distribution of your property, and reduces the tax burden for your heirs. Wills and advance health care directives protect you and your family. Failure to make an estate plan now may put your estate into the hands of the court and your dependent children and spouse at risk. When you sit down to discuss your estate planning needs, you will be sitting down with a knowledgeable professional who keeps your best interests in mind. Attorney Brian Murphy will listen to you carefully as you describe your family and financial situation, and what you would like to accomplish with your estate plans. Then our team will create the necessary documents needed to achieve your goals.
These documents usually include a will, a living will, and possibly a power of attorney. We can also discuss more complex needs, such as a special needs trust, planning for nursing home care, and other issues. When a significant life event occurs – such as a marriage, a child being born, or a divorce, we can amend your will and other estate documents to fit these changes.
Without a will or living trust, the court will make the decisions on who gets what and when. Don’t risk the well being and safety of your family should you meet an untimely death.
