Having a proper will is incredibly important. It is the only way to ensure that your wishes are respected and your family is properly looked after. Over the course of your life, you should update your Will several times. We recommend drafting a new Will after major life events (i.e. having children, marriage, divorce, etc) and about every 10-15 years. As your life changes, your priorities and financial situation will also change and it is important to update your Will to reflect that.
We will work with you to create a comprehensive Will and Estate Plan. This includes drafting a Will, a Living Will, and Powers of Attorney. We will also work with you to develop strategies to minimize estate taxes and probate fees.
We offer flat fees for many Wills and Powers of Attorney, as well as discounts for multiple wills. Please contact our office for a quote for your needs.
