What Will Your Legacy Be?
Many people think that in order to have an “estate plan,” they need to have a significant amount of assets that will be distributed upon their death; maybe even enough to worry about estate taxes. While taxes are important, and certainly can be a top consideration in an estate plan, taxes are not the only reason why you should have an estate plan.
At Burton Law, an estate plan is about your legacy – the people you care about, and how to minimize the burden of your death or incapacitation on them while making sure your wishes are met. We will work with you to protect your desires in connection with end-of-life decisions regarding health care. We will help you design a plan that provides for the efficient distribution of your assets to your loved ones and favorite charitable organizations. At Burton Law, we focus on listening to you, and specifically design your estate plan to meet your unique circumstances.
To achieve these goals, Burton Law helps clients develop their estate plan through advising and preparation of the following:
- Last Will & Testaments
- Trusts
- Powers of Attorney
- Health Care Directives
