Estate Planning &

Elder Law

Estate and lifetime planning entails defining your goals for the future, protecting your assets, minimizing your long-term care costs, and avoiding problems for family members in the event you become disabled or pass away.

Jay can help you prepare and execute Estate Planning Documents such as a last will and testament, a living trust or a nonrevocable trust. Although you can obtain a basic will form using online will drafting software, working directly with a competent estate planning attorney provides advice and estate planning documents more appropriately tailored to your specific situation and family dynamics.

We can guide you through end-of-life arrangements, including executing a financial power of attorney designation, medical directives, and health care power of attorney options. Completing these documents can alleviate problems for your family members during end-of-life transitions and upon your passing.

Do you need legal assistance to probate the estate of a loved one? We can help you navigate the estate probate process and provide guidance on the role and obligations of a trustee or personal representative of an estate.
