About

Family Succession Planning refers to the use of legal documents and recognized strategies to ensure that your property and possessions will pass to your loved ones after you are gone, and to provide for management of your own affairs in the event of temporary or permanent disability.

The practice includes:

• Wills
• Intestate succession
• Real estate ownership - joint tenancy, life estates, LLCs
• Trusts
• Conservatorships and Guardianships
• Powers of attorney
• Medical directives and patient advocate documents
• Lifetime gifts to children, grandchildren and others
• Probate
• Estate administration
• Trust administration
• Asset protection
• Charitable bequests
• Retirement accounts (pensions, IRAs, 401(k) plans)
• Retirement planning
• Elder law
• Medicaid planning
• Medicare issues

Because a small business is most often a family business, Business Succession Planning is also a significant topic that we will address here.
