What does it mean when we say we practice in the area of "estate planning"? This means we advise clients regarding the manner in which they wish to leave their property to their families, friends, or charities; estimating the tax consequences of implementing their goals and advising them regarding alternative methods by which those goals may be carried out; preparing documents necessary to implement their plans; and supervising execution of documents and implementation of their plans. This can include preparing Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney, Community Property Agreements, Health Care Powers of Attorney & "Living Wills," and other types of tools and techniques.

If you, a family member, friend, neighbor, or coworker has questions about estate planning and would like to make an appointment, give us a call at 253.858.5434. We proudly serve clients throughout Washington and Idaho and are available to meet in person, by phone, or via Skype or FaceTime.
