The Law Office of Eric Habib helps clients to write their wills, to create trusts, and to do estate planning generally. He advises on how to minimize the estate and gift taxes that might otherwise be owed, while designing an estate plan that is sensitive to the needs and dynamics of your family. The best possible tax plan is not always the best estate plan, especially if it ignores (or creates!) tensions in your family. Fortunately, a good estate planning lawyer can suggest a variety of tax-efficient compromises that will suit individual family circumstances.
Wills and trusts are the fundamental building blocks of an estate plan. A well-assembled estate plan can offer you security and stability. Estate planning lawyer Eric Habib offers a full range of estate planning services, including the following:
- Succession planning: For business owners and stakeholders, a succession plan is necessary to ensure continuity.
- Tax planning: Skilled planning can maximize the value of your estate for heirs and beneficiaries by avoiding unnecessary taxation.
- Financial powers of attorney: Appointing a trusted representative may protect you from exploitation and mismanagement in the case that you become severely ill or incapacitated.
- Retirement plans: Proper planning can maximize the value of your savings.
- Life insurance: Leverage the benefits of life insurance by understanding how to best use this financial option.
