Whether you are young or old, single or married, have significant financial resources or more modest means, setting up an estate plan which includes a will, durable power of attorney, health care living will and related power of attorney and possibly a trust are the best ways to provide you with peace of mind and make sure your wishes and concerns are properly met and addressed.

We provide an initial meeting at no charge to provide our clients with an overview of the planning options available to them as well as ways to most effectively meet their individual estate planning needs.  We then guide you through the process to create an estate plan tailored to meet your individual needs and goals.  

We can assist our clients with a full range of services including choice of entity, business organization, financial and strategic planning and a complete range of negotiation services.   We have ample experience in representing clients in a host of projects including landlord tenant negotiations, lease drafting and review, assistance with financial and banking commitments, human resource, compensation and benefit strategies, vendor contracts and relationships as well as purchasing and selling a business.  

After the passing of a loved one, our clients can count on the advice and counsel of an experienced probate and trust attorney.  Efficient probate and trust administration can save significant time and expense and provide survivors and beneficiaries with a clear understanding of the process and the best way to meet their fiduciary obligations.

As we and our loved ones age, we face a number of situations which are legal in nature and are best addressed with the assistance of an experienced legal advisor.  Retirement, initiation of benefits such as social security, pension and profit sharing retirement benefits and  inherited benefits such as IRA's, are all situations which present us with a number of choices.  Working with an experienced legal advisor can help you to understand your options and assist in making the best decisions for you an your family.

In addition, proper elder planning should include a realistic plan for senior living services.  Do you plan to remain at home?  Are you considering an assisted living facility?  Have you considered the costs of these options and how to pay for them?  Do you anticipate needing the assistance of Medicaid to supplement your personal retirement resources?  Proper planning for senior living can help insure that your goals are realized and your assets used in a manner which is best for you and your loved ones.
