Wills and Trusts
An estate planning attorney helps clients set aside protected assets on behalf of their children and others, as they wish. Having a well-prepared estate plan gives people peace of mind in knowing their treasured assets will be distributed according to their wishes. We handle wills and living trusts, including special needs trusts.
Culturally Sensitive Estate Planning for Eastern Religions / Traditions
We provide personalized services to each client, regardless of their religious beliefs. However, we know that many wills and estate plans give little consideration to Eastern religions and beliefs. We can tailor a will with the expression of simple wishes with respect to the proper dispersal of ashes if a person is cremated. Attorney Jasleen Anand was born in India, speaks Hindi and Punjabi, and has assisted clients of many cultures with their estate planning needs.
Powers of Attorney
These documents give either general or specific powers to another person who is then allowed to act within the confines of the granted powers. Powers of attorney are particularly useful to plan for the event when you become incapacitated or unable to make personal and financial decisions for yourself. This lets you know that, when you cannot make decisions for yourself, then someone will be there who will make the decisions you want.
Health Care Planning
We help clients to define their wishes regarding health care by establishing advance directives detailing decisions that they may otherwise be unable to make for health reasons. We are able to draft a health care proxy, advanced directive or living will that takes into account specific cultural and religious concerns relating for "do not resuscitate orders," organ donation for transplants and/or for research, or any other issue.
We have experience in helping business owners coordinate how they wish to pass responsibilities of their business to others, including family members. We help clients articulate their wishes regarding roles and responsibilities, compensation, management, and reporting structure.
Probate and Estate Administration
In our probate and estate administration cases, we typically assist in collecting the property, assets, and income of the deceased in order to pay any remaining taxes, claims or debts. If necessary, we will settle disputes and distribute remaining property to heirs, including the transfer of titles. We also advise clients on ways to avoid probate.
Our law firm advises clients on the various issues related to estate taxes: Federal and state death taxes, wills and estate taxes, estate tax exemptions, the impact of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act (EGTRRA), irrevocable trusts, and more.
