Today is only one day in all the days that will ever be. But what will happen in all the other days that ever come can depend on what you do today.
— Ernest Hemingway
 

What Makes You Feel Secure?

To my clients, being secure means knowing confidently that you’ve planned for life’s contingencies, now and in the future. It means worrying less because you’ve taken important steps to remove uncertainty and banish the nagging fear that comes with it.

It means that with a dedicated estate planning professional on your team, you’ve left nothing to chance.

What Can Estate Planning Do for You?

As an estate planning attorney I help you develop a legal strategy to protect three key areas of your life today: your loved ones, your “stuff,” and yourself. I help clients define and carry out their short- and long-term desires for those they care for, their personal and business assets, and their physical well-being.

I listen closely to clients’ individual goals, concerns, and priorities, then provide advice and tools that allow them to plan for the future and live confidently in the present. In my practice, I employ a large range of contractual planning tools to protect these three key areas without expensive, intrusive, and burdensome government and administrative oversight.

These tools allow you to manage your assets with particular goals in mind, as well as provide a clear, practical roadmap for trusted family, partners, and professionals to follow should their assistance be needed. Together, we can plan for the long-term support of a vulnerable loved one, minimize the excessive costs of transferring real and personal property at death, ensure only you and those you trust are able to make necessary medical decisions, or protect and preserve an important family or business asset.

 

Together, we can build a legacy.
