Estate Planning & Probate

Estate planning is not just for the elderly or wealthy. It is essential for everyone to protect their assets and provide for their families.

Estate Planning, also known as Life Planning, includes Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney, among other things. Your estate is everything you own—your car, home, other real estate, accounts, investments, insurance, furniture, and personal possessions. Estate Planning ensures that your loved ones receive what you leave behind with minimal taxes, legal fees, and court costs.
