What is Values-Based Estate Planning?

    Just like it sounds, values-based estate planning places your values at the core of your estate plan.  Although this sounds like a common-sense approach, traditional estate planning often overlooks this step. 

    My values-based estate planning practice incorporates several key elements:

bulletLegal Wills -- A Legal Will ensures that your possessions are distributed in accordance with your wishes, not someone else's.  A Legal Will establishes security for your spouse or children.  Click here to learn more about Legal Wills.
bulletEthical Wills -- In addition to Legal Wills, I also incorporate Ethical Wills into my values-based practice.  An Ethical Will is a way to express your love for family and friends, to share life lessons, and to offer hopes for the future.  Click here to learn more about Ethical Wills. 
bulletLiving Wills -- I can assist you in preparing a Living Will, which provides instructions for medical care when you are no longer able to make such decisions.
bulletCharitable Giving -- I help you decide if you want to leave any part of your estate to charity.  There are many practical and tax considerations in planning such gifts.  Click here to learn more about Planned Giving.
bulletNatural Burials and Environmentally Friendly Cremations -- I provide information regarding environmentally friendly burial and cremation options.  Some of us are increasingly uncomfortable with traditional cemeteries and are looking for a way to further our conservation values after we have passed away.
