what I do
estate planning
Estate planning, important for adults of all ages, begins with a review of the legal title to your home, financial accounts, retirement plans, insurance policies, and other valuable assets, and ends with our formulation of a coordinated plan for passing title to these assets following your death. Estate planning also commonly refers to planning for the possibility of a period of mental incapacity (resulting from illness or accident) during your lifetime, including making advance medical directives.
You may wish to discuss the respective merits of wills and living trusts in the context of your particular circumstances.
With 25-plus years' experience settling estates in a wide variety of circumstances, I can expedite estate administration and keep costs down. In my most successful (and demonstrable upon request) cost-saving delivery ever, I once completely settled a $1.5M trust estate for $310 in legal fees and $8 in court costs after another firm bid its legal services at $30,000.
estate administration
legal counsel and guidance
I offer counsel to persons questioning whether legal proceedings are in their best interests, or looking to discern an ethical course through troubled legal waters, or experiencing profound fears or reservations about legal conflicts or the legal process, or who are reluctant to approach or to work with attorneys, or who are otherwise feeling lost in a legal quagmire.
confidential document storage
I safely, securely, and confidentially store documents for the short and long term at a very reasonable cost, so that estate planning and trust portfolios, manuscripts, letters, private papers, historical documents, and other papers will be available to you or your designees when needed.
