Estate Planning Services
At Reyes Law, we offer a full spectrum of estate planning services designed to safeguard your assets, provide for your loved ones, and protect your legacy. Our approach is both strategic and deeply personal, ensuring that every plan we create reflects your values, priorities, and long-term goals.
Comprehensive Estate Planning
Wills & Testamentary Documents: Your will is the cornerstone of your estate plan. We help you clearly define asset distribution, name guardians for minor children, and set forth your final wishes in a legally sound and enforceable manner.
Trust Planning (Revocable & Irrevocable): Whether you’re aiming to streamline the transfer of wealth, minimize taxes, or protect privacy, we work with you to establish trusts tailored to your unique needs. We offer guidance on a range of trusts, including dynasty trusts, special needs trusts, and charitable remainder trusts.
Asset Protection Strategies
Your financial security should be durable, no matter what life brings. We employ a combination of legal tools—such as asset protection trusts, limited liability entities, and comprehensive insurance solutions—to help shield your assets from potential creditors, lawsuits, or unforeseen financial challenges.
Tax-Efficient Planning
Reducing the burden of estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer taxes can have a significant impact on the wealth you pass on to future generations. We collaborate closely with your financial and tax professionals to implement strategies—like lifetime gifting, strategic trust arrangements, and entity restructuring—to ensure your estate is optimized from a tax perspective.
Business Succession Planning
For business owners, proper succession planning is essential to preserving the enterprise you’ve built. We create orderly plans for transferring leadership, ownership, and equity. From drafting buy-sell agreements to setting up family limited partnerships, we ensure a smooth transition that maintains the integrity and value of your business.
Powers of Attorney & Advance Directives
Preparing for unexpected events is an integral part of a sound estate plan. We help you establish durable powers of attorney, health care proxies, and living wills so that, should you become incapacitated, the people you trust most can make informed financial and medical decisions on your behalf.
Charitable Giving & Philanthropy
Your legacy can extend far beyond your immediate family. We assist in structuring charitable gifts, donor-advised funds, and private foundations that align with your philanthropic goals. In this way, you can support causes you care about while potentially securing valuable tax benefits.
Elder Law & Long-Term Care Planning
We understand the importance of protecting quality of life in later years. Our services include planning for nursing home and assisted living care, navigating Medicaid eligibility, and developing strategies to preserve assets while ensuring access to high-quality, long-term care.
Estate Administration & Probate
Losing a loved one is difficult enough without the burden of legal complexities. We offer guidance and support to executors, trustees, and beneficiaries throughout the probate and estate administration process—helping settle debts, distribute assets, prepare necessary court documents, and manage any disputes efficiently and compassionately.
Ongoing Counsel & Regular Updates
Estate planning is never static. Families grow, financial circumstances evolve, and laws change. We maintain long-term relationships with our clients, offering periodic reviews to keep your plan current and aligned with your evolving needs.
A Collaborative, Personalized Approach
No two families are the same. We take the time to understand your personal situation, values, and concerns. By working closely with your financial advisors, accountants, and other professionals, we deliver estate planning strategies that are both comprehensive and custom-fit.
At Reyes Law, we believe estate planning is about more than drafting documents—it’s about securing peace of mind. We invite you to discuss your goals with us and discover the peace, clarity, and confidence a well-crafted estate plan can provide.
