The Probate and Estate Planning Department advises clients across the full spectrum of estate planning and estate administration.

We prepare the following documents for clients:

	wills
	living trusts
	insurance trusts
	charitable trusts
	health care proxies
	durable powers of attorney

In each case, we scrutinize the asset allocation between spouses to achieve the full utilization of each individual's estate tax credit. This strategy enables us to maximize estate tax savings and preserve a larger portion of an estate for surviving family members. We pride ourselves in educating clients so they can evaluate all available estate planning vehicles and make informed decisions based on their specific needs.

We help families administer trusts and estates efficiently and cost-effectively.

We advise elder clients and their families on the full spectrum of senior-specific issues, including:

	sophisticated Medicaid planning
	evaluation of various long-term care insurance options
	securing of guardianship for incapacitated family members
