Personal Injury

Estate Planning

Crafting a comprehensive estate plan is a crucial step many individuals overlook, often due to the discomfort associated with contemplating end-of-life matters. However, not having a well-thought-out estate plan can lead to unintended consequences, such as your assets being distributed according to state laws rather than your wishes.
