Full Service Estate Planning

Estate planning should not be a “one fits all” endeavor. Let us tailor your estate plan to fit your family’s unique situation and goals.

Many homeowners and families can benefit from a Revocable Living Trust. Property held in trust will avoid the probate process. Distributions can be custom tailored to suit your family’s needs. As the creator or Settlor of the Trust, you can also plan and provide for yourself in the case of long-term care or disability.

Our packages include every document you will need: Trust Instrument; Pour-over Wills; Durable Powers of Attorney; Advance Health Care Directives; HIPAA Releases; Certification of Trust; General Assignment to Trust; and instructions for “funding” your trust. We are with you every step of the way.

Additional services:

  • Special Needs Trust

  • Irrevocable Trusts

  • Charitable Trusts

“Ten years ago my mother and my husband passed away within two weeks of each other. Cap guided me with expertise and compassion while dealing with estate matters. Upon my husband’s death I became guardian/conservator of my mentally and physically disabled stepson. Again, Cap was there to guide me with decisions pertaining to my stepson’s special needs trust. Having Cap there right by my side every step of the the way was very comforting. Everyday I count my lucky stars Cap was and is my attorney.”
