Whether you are a young couple with minor children, worried about aging parents, looking forward to retirement, or facing serious medical or financial challenges, we can help by focusing on education and pragmatic solutions so you can make informed decisions.
Why Life Planning?
Most people understand the concept of “estate planning” in connection with documents created to pass assets to their heirs or beneficiaries. But solid, competent estate planning includes so much more we call it “life planning.” Whether you are graduating from college, starting your first job, getting married, having a baby, dealing with illness, divorce or other major issues, your life plan needs to change and grow with you.
Careful, professional advance planning can help people confront life’s challenges with the knowledge and resources to make informed decisions to meet their specific needs. We can help avoid serious complications when things don’t go as hoped. The attorneys at LEPLC will address your concerns and guide you through a wholistic planning process to meet your goals, including choice of fiduciaries and review of your current assets, financial needs, insurance, medical status and care needs, and housing needs. Along the way we can refer you to other experienced professionals we trust, or work with your own chosen advisers, to help you with health, care needs and management, home accessibility and renovations, daily money management, and tax and financial planning.
Finally, after examining your goals, we will work with you to create estate planning documents to provide peace of mind, protect your loved ones, and avoid unduly burdening your chosen fiduciaries. In short, we coordinate whatever you may need to maintain your independence and security and keep you on your path for the future. Of course, wills and trusts are important parts of the puzzle, but caring for our loved ones while we and they are alive is vital to the quality of the life we want to live.
