Wills, Trusts and Estate Planning

Having the right Estate Plan can be so beneficial in a number of ways:

• Avoiding Probate
• Minimization or possible elimination of estate and inheritance taxes
• Expedited distribution of assets to your intended beneficiaries
• Minimization of court costs and attorney’s fees
• Effective communication of your wishes regarding your choices concerning health care decisions and extraordinary life-sustaining treatment
• Potential protection of assets from extraordinary health or long term care expenses

… and the list goes on.

Through the effective use of Property and Health Care Powers of Attorney, Wills, Testamentary and Living Trusts, the attorneys at Antoniolli, Cerny & Winthers, P.C. can help match your future anticipated and unanticipated needs with the proper tools to achieve your estate planning goals.

Unfortunately, myths and misinformation concerning probate statutes and tax rules have created a tremendous amount of confusion in this area of the law. The estate and inheritance tax laws relating to limits and tax brackets have changed no less than a half dozen times since 2002. Federal and state regulations surrounding privacy and physician communication have made many Health Care Powers of Attorney obsolete. Likewise, Wills and Trusts designed to minimize or eliminate death taxes may also be out of date or even unnecessary.
