Estate Planning
Your family depends on you to shelter and protect them, but they
also depend on you to make sure they're protected even when you're
no longer with them.
Wills which provide for education, real estate transfer, asset
protection and trusts can assure that your family doesn't have to
fend off debt collectors, tax assessors and other distractions at a
time when they're weakest.
We'll guide you through the process and help you to make the right
choices for your family's needs.
We'll also help you create Living Wills which may guide your family
in making important choices which affect you when you're not able to
make your wishes clear.
If you were to die without a Will:
There are many other things that could happen if you die without a Will. You
should not put your loved ones in the position of having to discover what those
things could be.
If the value of your estate exceeds a certain amount at the time of your
death, estate taxes could eat up a lot of the money that you want to pass on to
others. You can do certain things now that could avoid payment of those taxes.
You may also wish to create a Living Will. If you do not know what a Living
Will is you should consult with your doctor and contact us.

Family Law
Representation in domestic cases does not revolve solely around knowledge of the
law. Though the firm's knowledge of the law is strong, its partners all have an
understanding and an empathy for the emotional difficulties suffered by those in
any domestic matter-should it be child custody, support, alimony, equitable
distribution or the less contested areas such as adoption.
