Thoughtful estate planning allows a living person to design arrangements for the distribution of their estate, and protect their assets. Estate planning should be viewed as a critical foundation for every family, and it is never too soon to take steps to protect what you own, now and for the future. By securing an estate plan now, you can insure that you and your loved ones have continued financial security, and prevent against issues and disputes that may otherwise arise.
At McGowan & Associates, we are experienced in helping our individual and family clients establish comprehensive estate plans to protect and provide for their loved ones. We are well versed and up to date on the laws through our years of mentoring, continuing legal education and estate planning experience. We guide clients seeking to leave a legacy and provide for children, grandchildren and spouses. We also advise our clients to help get their affairs in order in preparation for the unexpected, including possible physical or mental incapacity or death.
