Estate Planning
No one likes to think about estate planning. But like many forms of insurance, estate planning is a must. If you don't plan, the California legislature determines how your property is distributed, NOT you. If an estate tax remains on the books, you will have made no inroads toward avoiding or minimizing the extent to which your estate is subject to the tax.
Now more than ever with blended families and the like, we must take the responsibility to draft and prepare estate plans that meet our needs and fulfill our wishes. Brumer has many years of experience counseling clients in this area and can guide you through the process so that your assets are distributed according to your wishes and no critical decisions about your healthcare without your express guidance.
