Wills and Estate Planning
Our firm's attorneys — Kimberly Richards and Ben Furth have a deep background representing young adults, new parents, empty nesters, grandparents and business owners with their estate planning needs. Our success stems from asking probing questions to better understand clients' unique circumstances.
Based on their goals and financial situations, we help clients develop valid wills and trusts and disability planning. We provide guidance on determining guardianships for physically or mentally handicapped individuals. We help them find a trusted person to effectively steer individuals in important financial and health care choices.
Advance Directive and Power of Attorney
As part of planning for the future, we should all consider documenting instructions for our loved ones in the event we become unable to make important decisions ourselves. An advance directive allows you to weigh matters of end-of-life care now. A power of attorney allows someone you choose to make financial and other decisions for you.
Why Is Estate Planning Important?
Most people shy away from thinking about how their family will cope after they die. But no one wants to put their family at risk. We are committed to providing compassionate legal service to clients, and clearly explaining the benefits of wills and estate planning.
A well-drafted estate plan will decrease the likelihood that your family and creditors will be left fighting over your assets. Your estate could also be penalized with extra taxes and estate administration expenses, if you do nothing. Do not let this happen.
We are here to help minimize taxes, while distributing your assets appropriately to your beneficiaries. A valid estate plan will also name a power of attorney in the event you have a stroke or are tragically injured and can not make decisions on your own.
