The Legal Tools of Estate Planning
Estate planning offers clients a wide range of tools to achieve their desired outcomes. Here are just a few of the most common that we work with:
Wills and Trusts
We can help you draft wills that accurately reflect your intentions regarding asset distribution, guardianship arrangements for minor children, charitable bequests, and other testamentary provisions. We also offer in-depth counsel on establishing and administering various types of living trusts. Our trust-based estate planning solutions are customized to protect assets, minimize tax liabilities, and provide for the ongoing financial security of beneficiaries.
Retirement Planning
We recognize the need for proactive long-term care planning, aimed at protecting your financial assets. This can involve strategizing around Medicaid eligibility, long-term care insurance, and other means to secure your well-being. Paul Hardy Law helps clients navigate the eligibility criteria and asset transfer regulations associated with Medicaid benefits. This includes strategies such as the “look back” and “spend down” approaches to ensure compliance with Medicaid’s stringent financial thresholds.
Conservatorships
Attorney Paul Hardy provides legal counsel on matters related to conservatorships, guiding you through the process of obtaining court-appointed conservatorship for incapacitated loved ones who may require assistance with their personal and financial affairs.
Power of Attorney
Recognizing the significance of durable powers of attorney, we assist you in designating your trusted agents to manage financial, healthcare, and other important decisions on your behalf in the event of incapacity or unavailability.
Paul Hardy Law is committed to empowering you with these and other tools and strategies necessary to achieve your estate planning, asset protection, and long-term care objectives.
