Estate Planning Services for veterans
Specialized Estate Planning for VeteransVeterans estate planning is different from regular estate planning because it must account for unique benefits, legal considerations, and potential health issues specific to military service.
Our Services Include:
Estate Planning
We specialize in drafting essential documents such as wills, trusts, and powers of attorney to protect your assets and clearly outline your wishes. Our estate planning services are uniquely tailored to veterans, taking into account Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) benefits, service-connected disability benefits, pensions, aid and attendance, and property tax benefits. We also address the appointment of fiduciaries under Veterans Administration law to ensure your plans are comprehensive and effective.
Trust Creation
We guide trustees in managing and distributing trust assets according to specified terms. We simplify the complex process, ensuring smooth and efficient trust administration. Additionally, we incorporate specific language into trusts to help family members obtain Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) benefits after the veteran passes, including provisions related to potential service-connected disabilities.
Advanced Directives
We prepare living wills and healthcare surrogate designations to help you plan for future healthcare decisions, ensuring your preferences are respected and followed, even if the Veterans Administration institute fiduciary proceedings.
Life Planning
Our comprehensive plans address unexpected challenges such as disability and incapacity, providing you with peace of mind and security by ensuring all aspects of your life are protected and planned for.
