Estate Planning
We aim to make the estate planning process straightforward and stress-free. During our initial meeting, we will discuss your unique planning needs and goals, review your intake form, provide an overview of applicable Washington state and federal laws, and answer any questions you may have. We will also consider important factors to ensure your estate plan is customized to your specific circumstances, family dynamics, and long-term objectives.
Once we have thoroughly reviewed your goals and relevant laws, we will draft your estate plan into customized legal documents that reflect your wishes and priorities.
Your estate plan may include the following documents:
-
- Last Will and Testament
- Health Care Directive
- Health Care Power of Attorney
-
- Durable Power of Attorney for Finances and Property
- HIPAA Authorization (if applicable)
- Disposition of Remains
