ESTATE PLANNING SERVICES OVERVIEW

While we strive to provide estate planning services on a flat fees basis​, some matters that are complex or involve multiple beneficiaries may be charged additional fees to those shown below.

​Initial consultation  (This fee will be included in any plan selected from below)

A “Basic Will.” includes;

1) A Basic Will (No trusts)

2) A Durable Financial Power of Attorney (statutory and supplemental)

2) A Medical Power of Attorney with living will provisions included

A Basic Will  leaves your entire estate to one or more persons.  It does not include specific bequests (apart from general bequests of tangible personal property), provisions for minor children, or any trust provisions. In the event of incapacity, the financial and medical powers of attorney will permit the person(s) you name to manage your financial affairs and make medical decisions for you.

Includes for each person:

1) A Will with one trust Provision for children and/or grandchildren.

2) A Durable Financial Power of Attorney (statutory and supplemental)

The Family Will Plan is best for families with minor children as well as for parents who wish to leave assets to their adult children in trust until they reach specified ages or other milestones.

This Plan is for married couples with assets over either the state or federal estate tax exemption limits.  It allows the minimization of estate taxes due after the death of both spouses, and/or the deferment of state estate taxes.  For families with sizeable assets, this plan can save hundreds of thousands of dollars for your heirs.

1) A Revocable Living Trust

This is a probate avoidance Plan.  Most families do NOT need a revocable trust plan, despite the many seminars that promote such plans.  For older individuals, however, it can be an excellent choice.  I will explain the pros and cons.
