- TrustsEstate planning including the preparation of wills, testamentary and living trusts, powers of attorney, designations of health care surrogate, living wills and other estate planning documents.
- Power of AttorneyThe average estate plan usually includes four (4) or five (5) documents, such as a Last Will and Testament, Living Trust, Power of Attorney, Designation of Health Care Surrogate and a Living Will. Our services include the document preparation, a review of the documents with the client, final editing, revisions of the documents and handling the client’s execution of the documents. Many law firms may simply mail drafts of the estate planning documents to the client, ask the client to read the drafts and advise if any changes are needed. This is not our approach. We want to review the documents with the client and explain why certain language is used in the documents. Our goal is to have the client understand the documents. We furnish drafts of the documents to the client for a more careful reading after the review appointment.We then complete any final editing as necessary prior to execution.
