  • Family law issues
  • Transferring the ownership and control of assets into the right hands
  • Claims made by family members contrary to the testator's wishes
Our specific estate planning service includes:

Estate planning is not just about planning for death, it also involves the consideration of how assets and financial decisions should be made when you or someone close to you loses their physical or mental capacity to make such decisions.
