Estate Planning

Estate planning is one of the most impactful decisions parents - both young and older - can make for their loved ones. Life’s uncertainties often prompt parents, or those facing health challenges, to begin this essential process. However, it’s wise to arrange your affairs before any urgent need arises, ensuring your wishes are respected even when you’re no longer able to voice them. At its core, estate planning involves establishing legal documents, such as wills, powers of attorney, health care directives, living trusts, and privacy authorizations, all designed to protect your assets from common threats like taxes, creditors, theft, and even market fluctuations. 

Estate plans can detail how your children are cared for, outline your health care wishes, designate powers of attorney, set HIPAA-compliant document releases, provide instructions for your funeral, and specify organ donation preferences.
