Wills

By creating a will, you explicitly state your wishes for the distribution of your assets, along with how your estate administration should be handled. Will allow you to specify people or organizations you want to receive a distribution from your estate. It can be useful to indicate which of your children receive particular items of your personal property, such as heirloom jewelry, furniture and china.

You also can indicate any charities or other organizations that you would like to provide for. I drafted numerous wills for clients during my years in practice and use that experience to create effective estate planning solutions for you circumstance. I can review your situation and advise how best to structure a will for your needs and goals.

Trusts

There are a variety of trusts that may be used in planning your estate. I handle the creation, maintenance, funding and administration of trusts such as revocable living trusts, charitable remainder trusts, special needs trusts and marital trusts. The value of a trust is that it very flexible as a planning instrument and can be tailored to a nearly infinite number of variations. As a CPA and an estate planning attorney I can describe both the financial and legal advantages of using trusts as part on a comprehensive estate plan.
