ESTATE PLANNING

Estate planning affects virtually everyone and yet is an area of the law that is frequently misunderstood – and even subject to many myths. Every person’s situation is unique and the laws of property transfers are varied and complex. Anyone who owns or will own property would benefit from a properly tailored estate plan from a qualified estate planning attorney. LaBerge Legacy Law offers experienced, comprehensive, and knowledgeable estate planning services to help every client plan for the protection, maintenance, and distribution of their estate.

About Estate Planning

Creating an estate plan is about much more than just writing a will. Depending upon your situation, you may need a variety of different tools – from relatively simple to complex – to adequately protect your assets and provide for your family’s future. 

Some of the tools you may use to develop your estate plan include:

• Wills
• Revocable Trusts
• Irrevocable Trusts
• Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
• Real Estate Conveyances
• Beneficiary Designation Assessments and Revisions
• Powers of Attorney
• Health Care Directives

Before making any recommendations, we first take the time to ask questions and carefully listen to fully understand your circumstances and goals. We then take the time to explain estate planning concepts and your various options – all to help you select the planning approach that is best for you.

Modifying an Estate Plan

In addition to creating estate plans, our firm also offers estate plan modifications. You may acquire new assets, get married or divorced, or have a change of heart regarding your final wishes. Tax and estate law changes might create new planning opportunities or require plan modifications. You may want to name different fiduciaries in your estate planning documents. If your needs or estate planning goals change, we can help you modify your estate plan accordingly.
