Estate Planning 40%

Everyone, from young adults to those with minor or special needs children, to those planning for incapacity while still able to control decisions regarding assets and medical procedures, needs an estate plan. In addition, state law can impact the amounts received by your family members, under the terms of your estate plan. Taxation mitigation and asset protection, therefore, are still important estate planning considerations. We represent clients in both Maryland and Florida.
