Protecting Your Assets and Providing for Your Family
It is certainly possible to go through life without a will, but this in not a wise choice. Without a will a huge burden can be placed on your family. Not only will they incur extra legal expenses, but there could also be delays in closing your estate.
With a will and other estate documents, you can provide for your family by directing the distribution of your assets, thus, sparing your family from additional stress. You can name a guardian for your minor children rather than letting the court place them in foster care. You can have peace of mind knowing that you have cared for your loved ones.

Customized Estate Planning Solutions
Pratt & Varsalona will work closely with you to determine your needs. We want to know about you, your family, your values, and will discuss your long-term goals and your hopes for the future. Then we use this information to create legal documents to help you achieve your goals.
At a minimum, this should include a will and a power of attorney for health care decisions. When your family or financial situation changes, we can update your estate documents for a reasonable flat fee.
Creating a Trust
Our firm can address more complex estate planning needs as well. We can create a living trust which can help you avoid probate. If you have a disabled child, we can create a special needs trust that can provide for the child's needs while preserving his or her eligibility for state benefits. We can also create trusts that are designed to accomplish specific goals, such as a QTIP trust, charitable remainder trust or other estate vehicles.
