Mosteller & Holmberg, P.C.

     The objective of a good estate plan is to protect your assets and make sure that your instructions are followed should you become permanently disabled or die. Some of the tools used to achieve estate planning goals are simple while others are very complex. Although there are a lot of forms and software packages available that can assist you in planning your estate, these programs do not consider anything beyond the basics and fail to account for the unique characteristics of every family. Saving a penny now may cost your family countless dollars later, as mistakes are hard to correct after death and a poorly designed estate plan can do more harm than good. Our attorneys pride themselves on drafting clear and understandable documents to cover the most complex arrangements. This may require careful consideration of:

• Advance Health Care Directives
• Asset protection planning
• Beneficiary designations
• Business succession planning
• Charitable planning and gifting
• Conservatorships and guardianships
• Credit shelter bypass or exemption trusts
• Durable powers of attorney
• Estate tax planning
• Family limited partnerships
• Gift tax planning
• Grantor retained income trusts
• Inheritance planning
• Irrevocable life insurance trusts
• Health care powers of attorney
• Life insurance
• Living trusts
• Living wills
• Marital deductions or QTIP
• No-contest clause
• Pour-over wills
• Powers of attorney
• Revocable and irrevocable trusts
• Special and supplemental needs trusts
• Legacy/Inheritors Trusts
• Wills
