Creation of your Estate Plan will be accomplished through two meetings: an initial interview (which may be done in person, or over the phone, depending upon the complexity of your particular situation) and a final meeting at which the documents are formally executed.
Martin Pankiewicz, Esq. is dedicated to making the Estate Planning process as simple as possible for you and your family. This includes the ability to schedule appointments at your convenience. Evening and weekend appointments are available so that you can easily attend to this important task.
Finally, please note that estate planning is a dynamic process, which is ever-evolving and subject to change. The effectiveness of your estate plan will change over time depending upon (a) changes in your estate planning goals; (b) changes in your assets; and (c) changes in the laws applicable to estate planning. Because of these dynamics, Martin Pankiewicz, Esq. recommends that you keep in contact with him and keep him informed as to relevant changes in your financial or personal circumstances so that he can review how these changes may affect you and your chosen estate planning strategies.
Martin Pankiewicz, Esq. provides these essential documents (three each for married couples):
- A simple will declaring who will inherit your assets and who would care for your minor children
- A durable power of attorney appointing a trusted person to handle your business and personal affairs if you cannot
- An advance health care directive that (a) declares your "living will" wishes regarding life support and (b) appoints a spouse or other trusted person to make medical decisions on your behalf
