Estate planning should be done at every age, but the needs will vary and our lawyers can help you determine what your specific needs are based on your life factors. For those that are younger, it is helpful to create a basic will, establish a power of attorney, and designate beneficiaries.

As individuals enter old age, our lawyers encourage finalizing trusts and creating long-term care plans.
