Meet Our
Estates
Team


Estate and succession planning is critical to minimize the payment of taxes and fees by your estate and the stress your family could experience if you do not organize your affairs. Having properly drafted Powers of Attorney will ensure that if you ever become incapable of making important decisions about your property or your personal care, those decisions will be made by someone you choose, not the government or the Court.
