Proactive Approach in Estate Planning

Being proactive is vital in developing an estate plan for your future. Our lawyers will develop an estate plan so you can retain as many assets as possible while continuing to provide for your care, including costs related to Medicare. If you own a small business, you also want to use your estate plan to include succession planning to specify who will take over the day to day operation of your business. If your estate goes into probate, we have the experience to ensure that your assets are properly distributed and your estate is properly administered, including resolution of Medicaid liens.

Estate-Planning Challenges

When control of an estate or business and division of assets is involved, disputes often arise within a family. Your estate plan should be clear on who is in charge during the remaining years of your life and following your death. It can be a family member or a nonfamily member that can serve as the power of attorney, executor, or estate or probate administrator, but it is important to make your wishes known to avoid any unnecessary, costly, and emotionally charged litigation.
