Proper Estate Planning:

• Protects and secures assets
• Provides caregivers and assets for your minor children
• Allows you to choose how your assets will be distributed during your lifetime and upon your death
• Prepares you for your future health care costs
• Allows you to plan who will assist you in your health care decisions
• Helps avoid estate taxes and probate when appropriate

It is challenging to think of what might happen in the future if we are no longer available to care for our loved ones or ourselves. This is why many people in the United States do not have any estate planning documents. This area of law changes frequently and you should review your estate plan at least every three years to ensure that your documents and your plan will still meet your goals.

Here at Hines, we get to know our clients and their families and we take our time when devising estate plans with our clients.

We never charge for an initial consultation and are happy to give you the benefit of our wisdom and experience in this area.
