Estate Planning

Skillful Estate Planning Attorney

It is estimated that more than $10 trillion will pass from one generation to the next over the next 20 to 30 years. In fact, more wealth will change hands in the next 8 years than in the previous 238 years. In spite of these numbers, many people fail to take the steps to properly plan their estates. In fact, more than 70 percent of the people who died last year did so without a will, and more than 60 percent of those were college-educated Americans.

Planning for the future of your estate is important, but estate planning is so much more than the accumulation of money or the avoidance of taxes. It is about family, relationships, and making a difference. It is about being fondly remembered by those whose lives we touch along the way.

Estate planning is more than writing a will, it involves planning for the unexpected, whatever that may be. We have extensive experience developing successful estate plans. Because we devote our entire practice to protecting our client's wealth, they can take comfort knowing that their assets will be protected for themselves and for their heirs.

It is never too early to protect your assets. If you have any questions regarding the future of your estate, please contact The Livens Law Firm for a free initial consultation.

We offer a wide variety of estate planning services including:

  • Wills

  • Revocable Living Trusts

  • Financial Powers of Attorney

  • Medical Powers of Attorney

  • Living Wills

  • Pour-Over Wills

  • Directives to Physicians 
  • Agent or disposition of remains

  • Personal property memoranda

  • Third-party Special Needs Trusts

  • IRA Legacy Trusts

  • Family Limited Partnerships

  • (Limited Liability Companies) LLCs

Preserving your assets is important. Contact an experienced living trusts lawyer.

A living trust allows you to preserve and protect assets so that they can be passed on to your heirs and provides substantially more protection in many ways than a will. A living trust provides creditor protection for your beneficiaries, may avoid probate costs, and can eliminate death taxes. It can offer the flexibility of controlling your medical care should you suffer from a disabling illness. It also does not expose your private financial information to the public record.

Living trusts allow more of your assets to be preserved and passed on to your loved ones. At The Livens Law Firm, experienced living trusts attorney Stephen J. Livens has more than 20 years of experience to help you make the best choices for your future.
