Estate planning is a process and includes an examination of all your property - tangible and intangible, as well as your liabilities, to arrive at a blueprint for where and how you want it distributed upon your death. But a good estate plan will also plan for your retirement and incapacity during your lifetime.

A area of law specializing on issues that affect the aging generation: estate planning, Medicare planning, elder abuse, guardianship, and disability.

Wills and trusts uniquely allow for the ongoing care of loved ones, the smooth transition of a business, or the minimization of taxes and expenses on an estate. Living Wills and Advance Directives allow for the planning for incapacity during lifetime: making life support, nutrition and hydration decisions in the event of incapacity. Who do you trust?
