A living will lets you spell out the type of end-of-life medical interventions you would want to receive.

Probate Strategies

Probate is the legal process of paying debts and distributing assets after a person passes.  Overseen by the local court, probate is often time-consuming and expensive.  We can help you create an estate plan to make things go smoothly.
