Estate Planning

Estate planning attorneys prepare wills, powers of attorney, advance healthcare directives, and trusts to ensure clients’ wishes are honored. They advise on tax-efficient transfers, guardianship for minors, asset protection, and succession planning. They draft documents, coordinate with financial advisors, and guide families through probate avoidance and legacy goals.
