Estate planning isn’t just about documents. It’s about protecting your family, preserving what you’ve built, and making sure your final wishes are carried out. That’s why our Strategic Planning Session (SPS) is the first step in building a comprehensive plan that works for you and addresses all legal documents, medical care, and asset distribution.

Why families hire us:

• Specialized estate planning and elder law: This is all we do, every day. With over 50 years of combined experience, our estate planning attorneys have a deep understanding of tax law, estate tax, and the complicated process of estate planning. Clients benefit from working with an experienced lawyer and knowledgeable attorney who can explain legal issues and legal options clearly.
• Proven results: We’ve saved families millions in taxes and protected countless businesses from being lost in probate battles. We help clients avoid probate, navigate the probate process, and resolve legal disputes and probate litigation efficiently.
• Real attention: Our entire team is committed to helping clients with legal issues and providing a comprehensive plan tailored to your needs. We return calls. We answer emails. We listen. No two families are alike, and your plan won’t be either.

What to expect in your SPS:

• We listen first: You’ll share your goals, family dynamics, and concerns.
• We identify risks: From estate taxes to long-term care costs, we’ll flag what could threaten your wealth and legacy.
• We build your roadmap: You’ll leave with clear, actionable next steps for protecting your assets and family.
• We review legal documents such as your health care proxy, prenuptial agreements, and succession plan to ensure your final wishes and medical decisions are honored.

Beyond the paperwork

Once your plan is signed and secure, we stay with you. Laws change, and so does life. That’s why we schedule exclusive three-year check-ins to keep your plan current and effective. It’s important to update your estate plan regularly to address changes in other assets, asset distribution, and available legal options.

Elder Law Considerations

Elder law is an essential component of comprehensive estate planning, especially as families face the unique challenges that come with aging. As you or your loved ones grow older, concerns such as long-term care, Medicaid eligibility, and asset protection become increasingly important. At our law firm, we recognize that these issues can significantly impact your estate plan and your family’s future, which is why we offer comprehensive estate planning services tailored to address elder law needs.

Our team of skilled attorneys brings significant experience in elder law, including Medicaid planning, health care proxies, and trust administration. We work closely with clients to understand their current and future needs, ensuring that every estate plan is designed to protect assets, minimize estate taxes, and provide for a smooth transition of wealth to future generations. Whether you are planning for your own care or for a loved one, our personalized approach ensures that your financial situation and goals are always at the forefront.

Asset protection is a key benefit of thoughtful elder law planning. By utilizing strategies such as irrevocable trusts, we help clients shield their assets from potential creditors and reduce estate taxes, safeguarding what you have built for your family. Our comprehensive estate planning strategies also include tax planning to minimize federal taxes and maximize the legacy you leave behind.

Planning for long-term care is another critical aspect of elder law. Navigating the Medicaid eligibility process can be complex, but our knowledgeable attorneys guide you every step of the way, helping you secure the care you need while protecting your assets. We also assist with the creation of health care proxies, ensuring that your medical wishes are honored and that trusted family members can make important decisions on your behalf if needed.

Every family’s situation is unique, and our law firm is committed to providing innovative solutions that address your specific estate planning needs. From business succession planning and probate avoidance to trust administration and succession planning for family-owned businesses, we offer a full range of services designed to protect your legacy and provide peace of mind.

Let us help you navigate the complexities of elder law, protect your assets, and ensure your wishes are respected—today and for future generations.
