As a new client, experience personalized legal counsel, tailored estate planning, and empathetic guidance. We’re here to navigate life’s transitions with you, ensuring peace of mind and a secure legacy for generations to come.

1. Important People & Organizations in Your Life

Consider those you would entrust with medical or financial decisions in your planning. Determine the desired destination for your assets upon your passing. Contemplate alternatives if your first or second choice loved one is unavailable.

Family and Friends: Who are your loved ones? This may include spouses, children, grandchildren, parents, siblings, and other relatives or friends. Are there other people in your life that you would like to make sure are taken care of or thought of?

Pets: Don’t forget about your pets. For many, pets are like family. Because pets are dependent on you for their care, it is important to make a plan for pets too.

Organizations: Are you passionate about your church, charitable organization, special cause, or school (colleges or universities)? You can make a gift upon your passing to a group or cause you care about. Even a small gift can have a great impact.

2. Assets

You don’t need to have exact values of your assets, but an estimate of the values is helpful. Make a list of the assets you own by yourself, jointly with others, through a trust or some other arrangement. Your assets will impact the tax planning tools we may use, or how we structure tools to best serve your loved ones. Do you own the following:

    • Real Estate
    • Stocks
    • Bonds
    • Life Insurance (death benefit)
    • Business Interests
  • Cash
  • Retirement Accounts
  • Vehicles
  • Personal Property
  • Expected Inheritance

3. Your Road Map

The final step as you start to plan is thinking through your incapacity or death. Who do you imagine stepping up or stepping in to help at that time? Is there anyone you want to prevent from being involved?

Incapacity

If you are incapacitated and unable to take care of your day-to-day activities, who would you like in charge of the following:

  • Medical Decisions
  • Care for Your Minor Children
  • Ability to Talk to Your Doctors
  • Financial Decisions
  • Care For Your Pets

Death

Upon your passing, how would you like your plan to take care of the following:

  • Funeral Arrangements
  • Provide Asset Protection for Young or Vulnerable Beneficiaries
  • Avoid Probate
  • Supporting Loved Ones Battling Addiction
  • Distribute your Assets
  • Charitable Gifts
  • Minimize Estate Taxes
  • Protecting Children
