Estate Planning
Estate planning is for everyone, not just the rich, elderly, or ill. Estate planning is a process that allows a person to provide for themselves and their loved ones in the event of that person’s unexpected or untimely incapacity or death. It lets a person leave what they want to whom they want in the way that they want or believe to be best.
A well-designed estate plan provides for loves ones, including minor children and aging parents, provides for incapacity, avoids probate at death, reduces or eliminates taxes, and provides for charitable organizations. Most importantly, your estate plan is designed uniquely for you in accordance with your objectives, your values and your priorities.

Asset Protection
Nearly everyone needs to protect their assets from seizure by creditors, predators, and lawsuits because anyone can be sued at anytime for any reason. Whether they realize it or not, most people have already engaged in basic asset protection because they have purchased one or more forms of liability insurance.
Asset protection planning is the process of taking property which is currently vulnerable to seizure by creditors, predators, and lawsuits and positioning that property in a way to discourage lawsuits, provide a valuable bargaining chip if a lawsuit arises, and minimize loss.
