Estate Planning

Estate Planning is the process of organizing a client’s personal and financial affairs in preparation for death, incapacity, or some future event. This is an important topic that can be uncomfortable to consider. As such, we pride ourselves on combining compassion and empathy with our high degree of care and skill.

Estate planning can be simple as simple as giving away a favorite fishing pole up and as complex as
executing a will, power of attorney, living will, and/or trusts. Additionally, estate planning can involve undertaking strategic business and real estate transactions. It is important to have a qualified professional, like the attorneys at McCalla Law assist with creating your estate plan.

The estate planning considerations for a healthy, unmarried 22-year-old with no kids and few assets is
much different than what may be needed for 40-year-old mother of young children who owns a home
and small business. While all situations are unique, the legal and regulatory environment is complex and
everchanging. Professionals at McCalla Law are here to guide and educate individuals and families in
order to help them make the best decisions for themselves and loved ones.
