WILLS AND TRUSTS

Estate planning involves the use of revocable and irrevocable wills, trusts and ancillary documents to achieve the desired distribution of the testator’s assets upon their death, as well as to minimize taxes to be paid from the estate.  Basic estate planning packages are appropriate for individuals and couples that do not anticipate a taxable estate upon their death.  In fact, the majority of estate plan cases fall under the Basic estate planning practices.
