Areas of Practice
End-Of-Life/Estate Planning
Discussing end-of-life and estate planning can be a daunting and often depressing process. Many people believe these tasks should happen only when the end feels near. At P & S Legal Advocacy, we take a different approach. Our attorneys adhere to the principle that you have always taken care of your family, you have always done everything you could for them, and nothing would stand between you and their safety. Planning for your future includes guarantying your family has the easiest and most efficient procedures in place after your passing. Do you think:
“I don’t really have an estate so I don’t need to do estate planning”
“Only rich people need to plan for their estate”
“I will take care of this someday”
If so, we would like the opportunity to discuss options available to you while you are still alive and those for when you have passed. The more time and effort you put into planning up front, the more protected your family will be when you are no longer available to provide support and guidance to them. Our attorneys will discuss wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health care directives, deeds, and tools, as we help you find the most appropriate manner to proceed during your lifetime so control remains with you rather than with a court.
