Estate planning is more than just asset division and tax planning.  Estate planning involves decisions about what happens when a family member is diagnosed with dementia, what happens to children after the death of parents, what protections will exist against creditors of the beneficiary, and what limitations and controls can be placed on the money and assets given.  Our attorneys work with you to develop a strategy to determine everything from who would be a guardian for you at the end of life to what protections and restrictions will be placed on your end of life gifts.

​

The most common aspects of estate planning are:

​

• Custody of minor children

• Holding assets for the benefit of minor children

• Providing for educational needs
