Estate Planning is the process whereby a person develops a plan and prepares documents to conserve, protect, and distribute estate assets before and after death for the benefit of loved ones and charities, taking into consideration the effect of state and federal tax and administrative laws and regulations. It can also involve planning for the use of your assets for your care if you become unable to manage your affairs during your lifetime.
Wills
With more than a decade of experience, Kevin W. Hourihan handles all aspects of estate planning, including drafting wills and trusts, powers of attorney, living wills, and health care proxies while planning for incapacity and disability; and minimizing or eliminating federal and state tax liability.
Trusts
A Revocable Living Trust is usually recommended as the cornerstone of our clients’ estate plan. A fully funded Revocable Living Trust offers complete control to clients during their lifetime, provides for them and their loved ones in the event of their incapacity and on death allows them to pass their assets to their loved ones without the costs, delays and publicity associated with probate.

To achieve a client's estate planning objectives, we have an Initial Conference to make recommendations based on a comprehensive review of an individual's assets and general situation, and the personal goals of our clients. We will analyze your estate, including your business organization and financing structures and learn about you and your family. Next, we will help you define your estate planning objectives and provide you with the most effective means of achieving those objectives, including prudent tax planning and asset protection planning. For more complex estates, we will often schedule a second meeting to develop your customized estate plan, which may involve the use of Family Limited Partnerships and Charitable/Private Foundations.
