As we grow older, our goals and needs change. We think about preserving our resources for our retirement and potential expenses should we need care. We want to maximize what we can leave to our children. We want to optimize these resources, rather than cede them to the government or care facility. And we wish to control who makes decisions for us, if we become unable to. 

The earlier we discuss these issues and any other concerns with a lawyer, the better. The ability to preserve our assets is frequently subject to a “look-back” period, so the earlier we seek help to set up the legal structures to maximize our estates, the easier it is to do so.

The firms featured below specialize in helping us plan our estates and control our resources.
