Estate Planning

For our clients who are residents in Connecticut, planning for the unexpected and the unthinkable is important. We all know we need a basic Will providing for one’s spouse, children or other family. Fewer of us also know of the areas in which we can make decisions now to govern future events during our lifetime, when we may be compromised in some way. These decisions, called ‘advanced directives,’ include living wills, health care agents, and powers of attorney, should be part of every estate plan.

Some of us want more advanced and specialized planning, often accomplished using a trust. Examples of this might be to: avoid probate, provide for a disabled child, accommodate second marriages and/or blended families, or provide for succession of a family-owned business.
