Experienced Estate Planning To Protect Your Future

Estate planning involves the management and protection of assets in the event of incapacity or death. This may include the preparation of a will, trust, power of attorney and medical directive, as well as other documents. In addition, our lawyers may be able to shield your assets from long-term care costs and establish a plan for the care of parents and children with disabilities.

The issues involved in your estate are personal and often complex. Your family circumstances, particularly if they involve second marriages, blended families, elderly or incapacitated parents and special needs children, determine the type of protection you may require. At von Keller Thelin, we can work with you and your family to plan for and respond to anticipated and unexpected events.
