Estate Planning
Assisting You in All Areas of Estate Planning
Creating an estate plan allows you to make certain major decisions now, such as who will take care of your children or who will settle your financial affairs, upon your death. Additionally, if you suddenly become ill and are not able to manage your health care and finances, an estate plan can also ensure that your desires regarding your health and rights are fulfilled. Without an estate plan, the court will make these decisions for you.

Estate Planning is for Everyone
Estate planning is not just for people who have high incomes and complex assets. At Markus & Sheridan, LLP, we advise our friends and family members to consider an estate plan, no matter their financial situation. It is important for anyone with assets to protect them and provide for their family members in the event of their death.
Having the right documents in place will give you the peace of mind to know:
- Your assets will be distributed as you wish;
- You will have a guardian in place for your children; and
- Your children's assets and support will be properly managed for their benefit.
To protect you if you are not able to care for yourself, we will prepare a trust or power of attorney to insure your assets and affairs are properly supervised and that you and your family are protected.
Depending on your income and assets, a knowledgeable lawyer may be able to help you save on federal and local estate and income taxes. Our attorneys can help you prepare the following elements of an estate plan:
- Will
- Trust
- Living trust
- Revocable trust
- Power of attorney
- Durable power of attorney
- Health care proxy
- Family Trust
- Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts
