Level One – The Foundational Plan
For individuals or families who wants to protect themselves and their loved ones and retain some control over their lives and their possessions. Your custom estate plan answers those “What happens if…” questions.
Our lawyers create a trust-based plan which includes, Wills, Health Care Directives and Powers of Attorney so that you know you are well taken care of in addition to your assets. All non-real estate asset transfers will be handled by you, with unlimited guidance and support from us.
Level Two – The Wealth Plan
For the individual or family wanting the total assurance and peace of mind of the Foundational Plan AND also wanting the comfort of knowing that all asset transfers have been taken care of by our office. This plan is appropriate for busy families who want the least amount of personal effort and the greatest amount of convenience and care. We do it all for you.
Level Three – The Integrated Plan
For the individual or family exposed to Federal Estate Taxes and having a need for enhanced asset protection. Integrated planning involves review with financial, legal or accounting advisors to determine whether a family may benefit from our services and that there is a proper fit between you and our firm. We analyze, test and challenge combinations of planning theories and strategies for the allocation, distribution and protection of your assets.
