Starting points include a basic will, a durable power of attorney, a medical directive, and information about guardianship. These documents establish guardianship for minor children, assign decision-makers, and provide direction for medical preferences. As plans grow, you may add trusts, beneficiary designations, and business documents. We help ensure consistency across accounts, coordinate tax considerations, and set up reviews so updates reflect life changes, such as marriage, births, or shifts in business ownership.
Wills and trusts serve different purposes. A will directs asset distribution after death, while a trust can manage assets during your lifetime and potentially avoid probate. Many families use both to optimize privacy and control. Consult with an attorney to evaluate assets, family dynamics, and goals. We tailor plans to Maryland laws, ensuring a practical balance between simplicity and protection for both you and your heirs.
