Estate planning is perhaps the most important step a person can take to ensure that their loved ones are provided for upon their death. It is human nature to put these decisions off. Please don’t.

I offer extensive counseling, administration and, if necessary, litigation assistance with all estate planning issues, wills, trusts and probate and will carefully analyze your all you and your loved ones needs. Documents you need might include a simple or complex will, a variety of trusts and accompanying documents, powers of attorney and a directive to physicians (living will), and other ancillary documents you may need
