What is Estate Planning?

Ensuring Your Assets Pass to Intended Beneficiaries

It’s a process that includes making choices about how your estate and personal affairs will be administered in the event of your death or disability. It also includes naming a guardian for your minor children.

Minimizing Income & Estate Taxes

It’s deciding how and to whom you would like your assets distributed, while also incorporating strategies to minimize the impact of income taxes, estate taxes and other estate settlement costs on the value of your estate.

Being Remembered the Way You Would Want to Be

It’s about being remembered the way you would want to be by leaving a legacy to your loved ones and/or favorite charity that reflects your wishes and gives purpose and meaning to what you have accomplished in life.

Estate Planning for Blended Families

Being part of a blended family that brings together children and assets from a previous marriage often presents additional planning challenges. Traditional estate plans may not adequately address the specific needs unique to a blended family. They require you to give careful thought to your planning objectives, recognizing potential conflicts, and understanding the implications of various planning decisions on your loved ones.

Balancing the needs of each family member, which may include children from both a current and a previous marriage, as well as your spouse, can be addressed with a variety of customized estate planning strategies.
