FAMILY CARE PROGRAM

Our team members strive to respond to your questions and concerns promptly.

Our firm team members are readily available to answer any of your questions or concerns. Reasonable access and communication is available during regular working hours by phone, email, or in person as appropriate, without getting a bill. We strive for a 24-hour response time (except weekends and holidays.)

We ensure your assets are structured in alignment with your estate plan.

We assist with the initial alignment (or funding) of your assets with your estate plan. We regularly review the character, value and ownership of your assets with you and provide you with an annual report to ensure that all of your assets are properly aligned with your estate plan.

We update your estate plan to reflect changes in your life.

We believe that estate planning is a process not a transaction. In our experience, the only way to ensure that an estate plan accomplishes your wishes, is to update your planning regularly to reflect changes in your life, your finances and the law. Our Family Care Program provides updates to your documents to address minor changes in your personal situation that do not involve significant additional legal counseling, as needed and at no additional cost.

We hold a family care meeting with your trusted family members to explain your plan and answer questions.

The Family Care Meeting is an opportunity for you, your trusted family members and professional advisors to meet with us at no additional cost, in order to understand your plan. Any questions that you, your family members, or your advisors may have and issues that may be identified will be addressed at the Family Care Meeting.

We hold educational workshops on estate planning topics

We invite you, your family members, helpers, and trusted advisors to attend our free educational workshops on various estate planning topics to keep you informed on the latest estate planning news, trends and other things we think may be of interest.

We work collaboratively with your professional financial advisors to accomplish your goals.

Our team will collaborate with your professional advisors so that we are all working together with the mutual goal of taking care of you and your family. We will provide copies of your estate planning documents to your financial professional advisors upon request, with instructions to implement your wishes.
