Estate planning
We will spend all the time that is necessary to fully understand your concerns and plans. We will answer your questions and ensure that you understand and agree with your estate plan. We address such lifetime issues as securing powers of attorney, financial durable powers of attorney, health care proxies and living wills. We emphasize to clients that all documents are the clients' documents; all we do is write them.
We believe that the primary goal of estate planning is the distribution of assets in accordance with the client's desires. Secondarily, tax and administrative cost concerns must be considered. We will recommend different approaches, options and documentation to satisfy your needs.
An effective estate plan orchestrates the distribution of your assets at the time of your death in a way that meets your personal desires and minimizes the associated tax and costs. Contact our Rockville estate planning lawyer to discuss your probate and estate planning needs.
