Prepare for the Unthinkable
No one expects to be severely injured in a car accident, work injury or accident in the home. Hopefully, you will never have to deal with an unthinkable injury. However, part of our responsibility to family members, especially children, is to prepare for the unexpected.
We have all heard the heart-wrenching stories of families that are torn apart when they have to make a decision to continue or discontinue the use of a life support machine that is keeping a family member alive. It is in this most difficult time that your family needs specific guidance regarding your wishes. At our office we can draft a living will/advanced medical directive with termination of life provisions that will clearly state your wishes in the event of a serious injury.
Give Your Assets to your Children, Not the Government
Our office always has three goals in mind when we discuss your estate planning needs. First, we want to help you avoid unnecessary estate taxes. You want the bulk of your assets to go to your loved ones, not the government. Second, it is our goal to insure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes and to the party you intend. Third, it is our goal to avoid unnecessary family conflict for your family by expressing your intentions as clearly and concisely as possible in your will and other estate planning documents. With these goals in mind, we will work with you to execute a plan of action to protect your assets, your goals and your family.
