ESTATE PLANNING

Hays Firm LLC understands that every situation is unique and provides counsel and guidance to individuals to help them set up an effective plan for the distribution of their assets upon death. We provide our clients guidance on the different methods possible in order to ensure that their goals are accomplished. The foundation of any estate plan is the creation of the necessary documents, which include wills, trusts, powers of attorney and health care directives.

The amount of wealth an individual has is irrelevant to their need for an adequate estate plan. Whether a person has significant assets or is just beginning to build wealth, Hays Firm LLC, can help them set up a plan for the distribution of property and the care of minor children in the event of their death. There are many estate planning options to help our clients meet their goals.

A proper estate plan considers not only a client’s current asset portfolio, but also their short and long-term goals. Once such goals are identified we work with our clients to determine the approach that best fits their needs and draft all the documents necessary to establish and implement the plan. These documents may include:

• Wills;
• Trusts (revocable or irrevocable, living or testamentary, and special needs);
• Powers of Attorney for Property;
• Powers of Attorney for Health Care; and
• Health Care directives (also known as living wills).

Everyone can benefit from a conference regarding their estate plan, which includes the review of their current estate plan, if applicable, and a discussion of their goals. Please contact the Hays Firm LLC at (312) 626-2537 or via e-mail.
