Basic and Advanced Estate Planning

Regardless of the size of an estate or a client’s family situation, every individual requires a basic estate plan which is typically comprised of the following three documents: (1) an advanced health care directive (living will and medical power of attorney); (2) a durable power of attorney; and (3) a Will or possibly a Will and Revocable Trust combination. Once a basic plan is in place, a client’s needs may require more advanced planning, depending on the size of the estate, the types of assets in the estate or the client’s family situation. These needs are assessed and the appropriate estate planning tool is utilized, which may include trusts (irrevocable or revocable), Family Limited Partnerships (geared towards business succession), Family Charitable Foundations, as well as other estate planning tools.
