• What does it cost? •

The true cost comes when you don't take action now ... when you are able to do so. We would all agree that the costs involved with going to court are significant. Therefore, we strongly suggest that you do your planning NOW and stay out of the probate system.

Each family that we represent has:

• Different assets.

• Different family structures and personalities.

• Different goals and objectives.

In other words, each client presents a different planning situation.  There is no "one size fits all" Estate Plan, Life Care Plan or Medicaid Plan!

Each clients' personal situation will determine our recommendations as to what makes legal and practical sense for that client.  That is the reason that it is important to meet for an initial consultation ... so that you can learn about YOU.  Then we provide you with practical advice and options as to what we believe makes sense for you and why it makes sense.  Then YOU can make an informed decision and instruct US on which documents YOU wish.

To start the process, you will want to set up a consultation.  To find out more about how to start the process, please call Carolynn at (708) 371-9500.
