Estate Planning

Do you have your affairs in order? Oftentimes, people think that estate planning is only for the wealthy, but this simply isn’t true. Everyone needs to plan ahead.

We can sit down with you and discuss your circumstances to determine exactly what documents you need. You may just need a simple Will.

Supplemental Needs Trust

Do you have a child or a loved one with a disability? Many people with special needs live long lives and outlive their parents. You already know that planning ahead is critical.

Getting your loved one qualified for public benefits, such as SSI (Supplemental Security Income) and Medicaid can be onerous. However, securing and maintaining these benefits can be critical to a family’s financial viability. SSI and Medicaid may be worth hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars over the lifetime of the disabled family member, especially if they have expensive medical issues.
