​Probate is a legal process that takes place after someone dies. The process includes proving in court that a deceased person's will is valid, identifying and inventorying the deceased person's property, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining property as the will directs.

Estate Planning

 
 

Estate planning anticipates and arranges in writing, the management and distribution of what you own. The use of trusts, powers of attorney, a valid Will and Last Testament, and other tools require thoughtful analysis prior to implementation. We emphasize personal time with you to gage your goals while giving attention to gift and estate taxes.
