Revocable Trusts

A revocable trust is a legal document that allows you to manage your assets during your lifetime and distribute them after your death.

Special Needs Trusts

A special needs trust is a legal document that is designed to provide for the needs of a person with a disability while preserving their eligibility for government benefits.

Our firm can help you create a special needs trust that meets your loved one's unique needs and protects their eligibility for benefits.

Wills and Powers of Attorney

A will is a legal document that outlines how you want your assets to be distributed after your death. A power of attorney is a legal document that grants someone else the authority to make financial and legal decisions on your behalf.
