Estate Planning / Elder Care Law - Estate planning is the set-up and administration of your estate to ensure that your desired beneficiaries are provided for. You use a will or trust to name your beneficiaries and expedite the settlement of your estate when you die. Estate planning has significant tax consequences; the maximum estate tax rate is 47%. This can be avoided with proper planning.  Further, Elder Care Laws and planning can protect assets in the event of illness requiring long term nursing home care.
