THE PRACTICE

Estate Planning

Guardianships
Whether due to minority or incapacity, the creation of guardianships or conservatorships is often necessary to carry out an estate plan or provide for the needs of an individual. Our attorneys have extensive experience in the creating and maintaining guardianships of minors, advising fellow attorneys and parents on their choices in the management and application of assets of disabled children.

Special Needs Trust
More sophisticated planning is required for families that include a child or adult with Down's Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, senile dementia or another catastrophic illness. Where the beneficiary is unable to handle money, estate planning must include the long term care of that family member. If you have a loved one with a disability, we can assist you in preparing a plan to meet your family’s needs.

Asset Protection
Asset
protection planning involves figuring out and applying a lawful series of
techniques that protect your assets from claims of future creditors. The
techniques are designed to deter potential creditors from going after you, and
frustrate them if they do, generally by making it difficult or impossible for
future
creditors to grab hold of your assets or collect judgments against you.
