Key documents include a will to direct asset distribution, a durable power of attorney for finances, and an advance directive for medical care. Properly drafted, these items establish clear instructions and help guardians and executors carry out your wishes. Additionally, consider trusts for asset protection and tax efficiency, along with business succession plans if you own a company. We tailor these documents to Maryland law and your family needs.
Life events such as marriage, birth, or a business change warrant a formal review. We recommend scheduling a session every 2-3 years or sooner if major events occur in Maryland.
