Estate Planning

Estate and Tax Planning

When you begin the estate planning process, every option should be considered. With an experienced attorney answering your questions and helping you understand your options, you will be able to make the best decisions for you and your loved ones.

There are many benefits to establishing a comprehensive estate plan. An estate plan designed to help your family avoid the probate process and ensure that your wishes will be honored makes life easier for everyone involved. When you sit down to learn more about your options, you should keep the following issues in mind:

• Federal estate tax liability
• Delaware probate costs
• Protecting your assets for future generations

As your attorneys, we will work to meet these objectives and make the process as smooth as possible. In order to do that, we use a variety of tools, including:

• Wills
• Trusts Agreements to create Revocable Trusts (also known as Living Trusts), Irrevocable Trusts, Asset Protection Trusts, Dynasty Trusts, Charitable Trusts, and Special Needs Trusts
• Powers of Attorney
• Advance Health-Care Directives

A durable power of attorney can be used to protect your financial decisions, while a durable power of attorney and advance health-care directive can give your agents the power to carry out your decisions in medical matters when you are unable to make the choices for yourself.

Every family is different, and if you have a loved one who is disabled, you want to find solutions tailored to the specific needs of your family. An experienced attorney can help you explore all your options in caring for a loved one with special needs. At Old Capital Law Firm, we help families throughout Delaware with special needs and estate planning.
