The Peace Of Mind That Comes With Planning Ahead
You already know that planning is important. The trouble is, when it comes to Estate Planning, Asset Protection Planning, and Long-Term Care Planning, most people don’t know HOW to plan, or even where to start. If that’s where you find yourself, don’t worry. You’re not alone.
You can decide what happens to your estate without fearing it will end up in the wrong hands.
Estate Planning Helps You:
- Stay out of probate court when you die
- Protect your heirs from themselves and others
- Avoid guardianship court if you become incapacitated
Tax Considerations Help You:
- Know whether estate and gift taxes matter to you
- Minimize captial gains taxes when your property is sold
- Protect retirement accounts from accelerated taxation
Know which taxes matter most to you and don’t pay a penny more than you have to.
Stay ahead of rising long-term care costs to ensure there's something left to inherit.
Asset Protection Helps You:
- Beat the Medicaid 5-year lookback period
- Prepare for Veterans Benefits to extend your income
- Shelter your home from loss to Medicaid leins

We realize that emergencies happen and planning ahead is not always an option. In those difficult cases, the last thing you want to do is figure it out on your own. Creating an emergency plan will minimize the stress and the financial hit that often come with unwelcome surprises.
The Representation You Need When Facing The Courtroom
Sometimes a plan doesn’t come together and you are left facing court proceedings. Probate and guardianship court can be a long and emotional process. You need experience and expertise on your side to make this time as pain-free as possible.
We wrote the book on planning (literally).
