Estate Planning

Simple and Advanced

What is estate planning? Simply speaking, estate planning is pre-arranging for control of your money, real estate, personal property and business interests to pass to others at the time of your death or disability. Nobody wants to think about death or disability, but establishing a good estate plan is one of the most important things you can do to protect your wealth and you loved ones. Proper estate planning puts you in charge of your finances and spares your family from delay, frustration, and conflict that can occur at the time of death or disability.

Some estate planning lawyers complicate the estate planning process by using unnecessary legal jargon. We focus our efforts on education and counseling to assure that our clients understand the estate planning process and the documents they have signed.
