How can quality Estate Planning help you?

    No matter what the size of your estate is, it is worthwhile to review your assets with a  professional. Those who have substantial net worth or stock and bond portfolios usually benefit from the services of a financial planner.

    The role of the attorney in the estate planning process is two-fold:

  • Review how the assets are titled and advise whether they should be held in trust, in survivorship with one or more people, with a transfer on death designation (or "payable on death"); or solely in the person's name with no beneficiary.

    • Review the person's assets to discuss how to minimize taxes for themselves and their heirs.

        A little planning can save thousands of dollars, either in administrative costs or in tax savings. I use a sliding scale for fees for estate planning, making it affordable to plan for estates of all sizes.
