San Mateo Estate Planning Lawyers

Estate Planning to Protect Your Future

A simple last will and testament is rarely enough protection. Middle-class families, and especially higher-income individuals, should engage in a thorough estate planning review to make sure their wishes are respected with regard to care of minor children, distribution of financial assets and decision-making about their own health.

A complete estate plan should include, at the very minimum: a will, advanced health care directives, guardianship arrangements for the care of minor children. Many estate plans will also include some type of testamentary or living trust.

Estate tax planning is always at the forefront of our estate planning strategies. The careful estate planner always keeps one eye on the changing federal estate tax laws. Without careful estate tax planning, a shocking percentage of one's assets can be lost to estate taxes instead of transferring to intended heirs.
