Trust and Estate Planning
The team at Wegman Hessler Valore works closely with individuals and families, helping them to understand and identify their particular wishes concerning the use of their property during their lifetime and its distribution following their death. We help our clients avoid common pitfalls and determine the legal documents and estate planning tools that best suit their individual needs and circumstances, helping to protect long-term wealth.
In addition, it is important to keep in mind that estate planning is an ongoing process and should periodically be reviewed as life progresses, and your goals and objectives may change. The lack of an adequate estate plan can create unnecessary financial and personal burdens on your family and loved ones who are left behind. If you are uncertain regarding any aspect of your estate, please consult with one of our attorneys who will help you understand the issues facing you and your family and assist in solving them.
