Personal Estate Planning

Foster Walsh, LLP provides estate planning to individuals and, particularly, to business owners. Estate planning may be as simple as drafting a Will with healthcare directives or as complicated as family limited partnerships with charitable remainder trusts or the establishment of a private foundation.

Clients requiring estate planning meet with an attorney and explore the various estate planning options that are available to them.  Upon completion, the planning is unique and individual, meeting the requirements of each client and their families and beneficiaries.  Estate planning is designed to address potential tax issues, to avoid the costs of estate administration, and to ensure that the desires of the client are fulfilled and carried out by their successors. 

Estate planning with Foster Walsh includes the transfer of real property to Trusts, instructions and assistance with the transfer of personal property to a Trust, the nomination of guardians for minor children, the development of thoughtful and effective distribution of assets to children, plans to provide for elderly parents, special needs trusts for individuals, and long-term end-stage health directives.
