Everyone has an estate.  Your estate is everything you own including your home, car, and checking accounts.  Like most people, you want to control how your estate is given to your loved ones when something happens to you.

This is estate planning—making a plan in advance and naming whom you want to receive the things you own after you die.  

However, good estate planning is much more than that. It should also

· Include instructions for passing your values (religion, education, hard work, etc.) in addition to your valuables.

· Include instructions for your care if you become disabled before you die.

· Name a guardian and an inheritance manager for minor children.

· Provide for family members with special needs without disrupting government benefits.

·  Provide for loved ones who might be irresponsible with money or who may need future protection from creditors or divorce.

We can help you plan your estate by preparing documents that will accomplish your goals.  

· Last Will and Testament
