When you pass away, you want to leave your loved ones with the gift of your possessions and savings, not tied up in courts arguing over your estate. If you are not careful in your planning, taxes can leave your heirs with only a fraction of what you intended. However, if you work with an experienced estate planning attorney in advance, you can control the actions that take place after your death. Estate planning refers to the accumulation and disposition of an estate to minimize taxes and maximize the transfer of wealth to the intended beneficiary. Ahluwalia Law Professional Corporation offers a host of estate planning tools:

• Wills: We can help you draft a legal document that expresses your wishes and lets you choose your heirs.
• Trusts: We can set up a trust for your estate so that your beneficiaries are not adversely affected by probate courts, taxes, and other complications.

  • Durable Financial Power of Attorney
