Estate Planning
The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
What if “Some Day” Comes Tomorrow?
Remember the old fable? The ant toiled all day, worried about lean times, while the grasshopper played and partied without a care in the world. Which one had peace of mind when hardship came? In estate planning, you want to be the ant.

Do I Need Estate Planning? I’m Not Wealthy.
Estate planning is not only for “the rich.” It is the planning to allow management of your affairs when you aren’t able to manage them yourself (upon your incapacity or death). Additionally, most people have greater assets than they realize — such as equity in their home, retirement funds, life insurance policies, etc. Without planning, it can be difficult and expensive for your family to manage those affairs for you. If you die without an estate plan, your beneficiaries could be decided by state law.
An estate plan covers far more than your assets and possessions. It is a set of documents that expresses your wishes and guides family members (a) if you should die; or (b) if you become incapacitated by illness, accident, or mental infirmity. Our professionals can help you sort through these issues.

Do I Need a Lawyer? Can’t I Make a Will From a Kit?
The problem with a do-it-yourself estate plan is that you don’t know if it is legally sound and covers all the bases. If your documents are incorrectly written, incomplete, or executed improperly, your family will find out only after it’s too late.
