Understanding Estate Planning

Components of an Estate Plan

1. Will

A will is a foundational document that outlines how your assets should be distributed upon your death. Attorney Harriman assists clients in drafting clear and legally valid wills that reflect their intentions.

Trusts are versatile estate planning tools that allow for the management and distribution of assets outside of probate. Attorney Harriman helps clients establish trusts tailored to their specific circumstances, such as revocable living trusts, irrevocable trusts, and special needs trusts.

Advance directives, including powers of attorney and healthcare directives, designate individuals to make financial and medical decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. Attorney Harriman ensures that clients' wishes are legally documented and respected.
