Welcome to the Estate Planning page of the LIFE Center.  It's a common misconception that only the rich need an estate plan.  But basic estate planning should be considered by most every family.  It's quite simple: If you don't execute your own estate plan through Wills, Trusts, etc., then upon your death, the Courts in your State may issue the decisions regarding the distribution of your assets and property.  So it's really a matter of control.  Do you want to plan your estate or do you want your State to do it for you?

A well-qualified estate-planning attorney should be consulted for executing Wills, Powers of Attorney, Living Will, Trusts, and other documents.  To locate a qualified estate-planning attorney, visit the website of the National Association of Estate Planners & Councils.  The purpose of this resource is to provide introductory language and concepts in an easy to understand format.  Our firm will work in concert with your Estate Planning attorney and we welcome the opportunity to help you and your family.
