Estate Planning

The implementation of an estate plan may include:

  • Complex or simple wills.
  • Revocable or irrevocable trusts.
  • Living trusts.
  • Life insurance trusts.
  • Charitable trusts.
  • Other specialized trust instruments.

In addition, an estate plan may include durable general powers of attorney, durable health care powers of attorney, or other specialized documentation. I explain each estate plan in plain language and simple terms.

Wills

Making a will allows you to divide your assets, designate guardians for minor children, minimize estate taxes, and more. Be prepared for major life events while protecting your loved ones; whether you need assistance with a simple distribution plan or a complex estate, he has the skills and expertise to lead you through the process.

Trusts

The use of trusts in estate planning may be appropriate and necessary for achieving a client's goals. Mr. Conlay drafts a variety of trusts, including revocable and irrevocable trusts, living trusts, life insurance trusts, charitable or other specialized trusts. Trusts are drafted to specifically address the needs of each client based on their unique circumstances and wishes.

Successions & Probate

Whether one dies with or without a will, estate administration, the transfer of assets and wealth, and other issues must be addressed. Mr. Conlay works with families, fiduciaries, and businesses to make sure this transition is accomplished in a timely and cost-efficient manner with minimal tax consequences.
