Estate Planning

We work hard during our lifetimes. We want to be assured that our property, whether it be a fortune or personal property that only we value, will be given to the right person or persons. Why is that so important? Because it one of the last ways we are able to express our caring for our love ones - our children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews, brothers and sisters, friends, and charity.

Estate Planning is all about assuring that our wishes are carried out after our death. That in itself is a gift to those we love - so those who survive us know that we cared enough to plan for their future. Estate Planning also avoids your love ones having to go through a costly probate or having to litigate to secure their legal rights. Everyone knows the judicial process is expensive monetarily and emotionally.

Even a simple Will can run into thousands of dollars in legal fees and unwanted waiting periods for our heirs and beneficiaries if probate is required to make distribution. That is why having a Living Trust is so important. It eliminates probate if professionaly prepared with meticulous drafting and proper funding.
