Planning for the end of your life is an uncomfortable process that many put off until it is simply too late. Estate planning involves more than simply drawing up wills or trust documents. Estate planning gives you the security of knowing that your wishes will be carried out even when you are no longer able to see them through. It is a process in which the attorney and the client work together closely, examining a wide range of family, financial, insurance and retirement considerations to determine the full extent of the client's estate planning needs and goals. Patton, Hoversten & Berg, P.A. provides clients with a variety of estate planning tools to achieve the desired result, including:
