Estate Planning is more than just a will...

A good estate plan not only distributes your assets upon your death, but it helps you to control and protect your assets during your lifetime.

Here are some other benefits to a well constructed estate plan:

• Possibly avoid probate of your estate upon your death
• Minimize your total legal fees
• Avoid unnecessary capital gains taxes
• Eliminate the requirement of public notices
• Keep your plan of distribution private
• Establish documents that are acceptable in all states
• Manage and control your own assets
• Provide for management of your assets by a person of your choice if you are no longer able
• Allow for optimum tax planning using federal and state income, gift and tax law
• Provide creditor protection for your beneficiaries
