About Estate Planning

Estate planning from a qualified estate planning attorney, a financial adviser who specializes in estate planning or a CPA planner is the arrangement of documents to provide the orderly transfer of assets and property to the next generation. Wills, living trusts and a myriad of other trust documents or business arrangements to avoid estate taxes, income tax and real estate capitol gains are some of the principal documents used.
