Expert Estate Planning Services

Our team, led by Attorney Robert Schaller, a licensed attorney and Registered Certified Public Accountant with over 38 years of experience, offers a comprehensive range of estate planning services designed to provide individuals with peace of mind and secure their future. Our essential services include:

• Last Will and Testament: We assist in the creation of legally binding wills that outline your final wishes regarding asset distribution, guardianship of minor children, and the appointment of an executor to manage your estate after your passing.
• Powers of Attorney: We draft powers of attorney, which grant trusted individuals the authority to make legal, financial, or medical decisions on your behalf in the event that you become incapacitated or unable to make such decisions yourself.
• Living Trust: We establish a living trust, a flexible estate planning tool that allows you to transfer ownership of your assets to a trust during your lifetime. By creating a living trust, you retain control over your assets while providing a mechanism for their management and distribution upon your incapacitation or death, without the need for probate.
• Special Needs Trust: We create a Special Needs Trust, also known as a supplemental needs trust, which is designed to benefit special needs individuals. The primary purpose of a special needs trust is to provide for the beneficiary's supplemental needs and quality of life, while ensuring that government benefits, such as Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income (SSI), are not jeopardized.
• Blended Family Trust: We establish a Blended Family Trust, also known as a Step-Up Trust or Qualified Terminable Interest Property (QTIP) Trust, designed to address the unique estate planning needs of blended families. The trust allows the grantor to provide for the current spouse while ensuring that the grantor's children from the prior marriage are also protected and provided for after the grantor's passing.
