Estate Planning
Estate planning is arranging for managing and disposing of an individual's assets before and after death. It includes strategies for protecting assets and minimizing taxes.
Power of Attorney
It is a legal document that gives someone of your choosing the authority to make decisions and act on your behalf. Therefore, it's essential to choose a trusted and reliable person as an agent and consult with an attorney to ensure that the POA is legally binding and meets the specific needs of the principal.
Estate Administration
Estate administration refers to the process of managing and distributing the assets of a deceased person. This process is typically carried out by an executor or administrator named in the deceased person's Will or appointed by a court.

- To protect assets from creditors and lawsuits.
- To ensure that assets are distributed according to the individual’s wishes.
