Each estate plan varies from individual-to-individual or couple-to-couple. Here, we will meet and discuss with you all of the estate-planning options that are available to you and the pros and cons of each.

Some of the critical life decisions that you can include in your estate plan are:
-
Whom you want to care for your minor children;
-
How you want your assets divided at death;
-
Whom you want to oversee the administration of your estate; and
-
How you want health care decisions to be made on your behalf if you are incapable of making said decisions yourself and whom you want making those decisions.
Estate planning has many advantages, including minimizing tax burdens, controlling the disposition of valuable assets and family businesses, and discouraging family disputes and litigation. David will give you critical guidance while tailoring your estate plan to your needs and wishes.
No one wants to have to examine many of the details that an estate plan bears. However, once you complete the process, you will enjoy the peace of mind that comes with having these essential life determinations in place.
Estate planning often is a simple process. For some, however, it can be more complex. Either way, do not try to attempt to develop an estate plan on your own. Too often, people pay for the do-it-yourself kit and have to hire an estate planning attorney later to fix the problems caused by the do-it-yourself kit. Contact David to schedule a free consultation, and have it done right the first time.
