ESTATE PLANNING
In the case of estate planning, one size does not fit all.
Beyond just having a simple last will and testament, a complete estate plan ensures your loved ones (and pets) are cared for as you age, while also considering your legacy.
​
Estate planning is the process of setting up how your assets and property will be managed during a period of illness and distributed to your beneficiaries upon death.
Wills & Trusts
The type of estate planning document that best suits you depends on your circumstances and wishes. A will names a person as executor to distribute your assets after your death to people you have named. A trust names a trustee to manage your assets during life or after death. The terms of a trust are private and while more expensive than a Will to create, it may offer additional benefits that suit your needs.
Powers of Attorney
A power of attorney is a legal document that gives one person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) the authorization to act on behalf of another (the principal). The agent may have the authority to make decision's about the principal's property, finances, investments or medical care.

Long-term Care Planning
Aging with dignity is the goal. Planning for your long-term care is one of the kindest acts you can do for your family and the best way to maintain control over your own aging. There are a number of ways to think about and plan for long-term care. The best way to age with dignity is to plan what you want your aging to look like and discuss those plans with your loved ones.
