Plan today for a better tomorrow
You work hard and try to set aside something to leave to your loved ones or the causes that are most important to you. Protecting your legacy is where we can help.
A proper estate plan ensures that during any period you are mentally incapacitated, one or more people selected by you will have the authority to manage your assets and to make health care decisions for you. And it allows you to provide for your loved ones following your death.
Estate planning is not just for the wealthy. Every adult needs to have a power of attorney, health care power of attorney, HIPAA authorization and living will. And anyone who owns a home or other real estate, is married or has a child needs to have either a will or a trust. Your estate is worth protecting regardless of its monetary value.
An estate plan should be reviewed after a marriage, divorce, birth, death or other significant event, whether in your life or in the life of someone you named in your plan.
If you receive a diagnosis of dementia, Parkinson’s, ALS or another condition that makes you worry about impoverishing your family with long term care expenses, let us alleviate that concern. We can help you protect assets and gain eligibility for Medicaid or VA pension benefits. You will have more options if you call us soon after your diagnosis but we will be pleased to assist you at any time.
We want to help with all of your estate planning needs. We are also here to help after the death of a loved one – when you need to probate a will or otherwise distribute good title to a deceased person’s assets. Please request a consultation so we can schedule a time to meet you and learn your needs.

For the creation of a new estate plan or a probate intake, an initial consultation up to 1 hour is free during regular business hours if you bring a full and legibly completed questionnaire and all decision makers attend (husband and wife if married). For long term care planning, including Medicaid and VA pension, we charge $600 for an initial consultation up to 2 hours. For the review of an existing estate plan, real estate matters and other work, or for meetings outside our regular business hours or when a completed questionnaire is not delivered, we charge for an initial consultation by the hour.
