Wills and Estates

Preparing you and your family for the future.

Creating an estate plan, will, or living will can be an uncomfortable and complicated process that many people put off. In fact, according to Caring.com’s 2020 Estate Planning and Wills Study, less than one-third of Americans have a will or other type of estate planning document. However, these documents are essential to ensuring your wishes regarding medical care, the care of minor children, the distribution of property, and even the future of your business are carried out at the time of your incapacitation or death.
