Everyday People Estate Planning
The word "estate" in estate planning can bring up images of a grand country estate, or other markers of riches - not the stuff of most people's lives. Throw the word "trust" into the vocabulary (as in "living trust" or "irrevocable trust") and estate planning seems even further removed from most people's financial realities. This distance and separateness that many people feel from estate planning is compounded by people's feelings about death, family relationships, taxes, etc..
Estate planning issues are complex in a number of ways. It is one of the more challenging areas of the law from a technical perspective. In addition to that, it brings up knotty emotional issues. What other area of the law incorporates taxes, real estate, health care decision-making, retirement planning, asset protection, family issues... and, last but not least, mortality? Oh my! I help people contend with these matters in a way that leaves them with a comfortable sense that these issues have been negotiated well, and that their affairs are in order. My goal is to offer legally sound and sensitive estate planning that improves people's lives.
