Estate Plan Design
A well designed estate plan transfers assets to our loved ones in a
manner that best fits the life circumstances of our intended
beneficiaries. It reduces or eliminates the associated costs, such as
estate and income taxes, probate court expense, and legal fees.
We help our clients plan for the protection of their property and the
success of their loved ones.

Implementing an estate plan requires more than just properly
crafted documents. Equally important are how assets are owned.
Also critical is the careful selection of the primary and contingent
beneficiaries for those assets that have their own beneficiaries,
such as annuities, IRA's, 401K's, and life insurance.

A balanced estate plan takes into account not only the expected
size of our net worth upon our demise, but also considers the
unique needs our beneficiaries.

Every plan is different.  We will work with you to design an estate
plan that addresses your specific concerns and goals.  
Questions to Consider:

  • Do you wish to avoid the probate court rules,
    delays, and expenses?

  • Could an heir be too young to receive an
    inheritance?

  • Should the inheritance be phased in at certain
    ages?

  • Does an heir have a disability or any special
    needs?

  • Is the intended beneficiary in a difficult marriage
    with the possibility of a later divorce?

  • Do you have children from a prior marriage?

  • Should you protect the inheritance from the heir's
    potential creditors?

  • Are there any taxes that can be avoided?
