Estate planning is frequently put off because people believe they won’t need it until after they pass away. However, there are many unexpected turns in life. If a sudden accident renders you immobile, who will handle your business, finances, or mortgage payments? If you cannot express your intentions for medical treatment, who will do so on your behalf? Not only the elderly or the wealthy need to have an estate plan.


Do not jeopardize your legacy if you do not already have an estate plan or have not updated your strategy in light of your present situation. During a free, private consultation, we can discuss how cost-effective a plan might be. Making a plan now will assist your family in avoiding conflict and probate court expenses during this difficult time. It is a caring gift you can give them.


Ready to safeguard your legacy and secure your family’s future? Contact Zapolis & Associates, P.C., today to schedule a consultation with our estate planning experts. Your peace of mind begins here.

Benefits of Estate Planning


We will examine your situation, talk about your family relationships, and assist you in selecting the best approach to achieve your estate planning objectives now and in the future. We will detail all of the choices available, including:


  • Benefits of Creating a Trust: A living trust is a practical, affordable tool that will benefit you both during your lifetime and after you pass away. You do not have to give up ownership of your possessions to establish a trust. A special needs trust can shield a loved one with special needs from losing eligibility for crucial government benefits.
  • Addressing the Challenge of Estate Planning for Blended Families: If you don’t have a legal strategy to ensure your desires are carried out, your children from past relationships may be in danger of being disinherited. We have a great deal of experience dealing with the estate planning problems of blended families.
  • Advanced Directives: Your estate plan may need to include living wills, powers of attorney, and other advance instructions to protect your family against guardianship and other legal proceedings.
  • Protect Your Family Business & Line of Succession: Small-business owners usually anticipate that their company will remain family-owned. However, disagreements among family members can undermine your intentions if you don’t express your plan for transferring the business to your loved ones clearly and legally.
  • Concerns About Estate & Gift Taxes: Most people and families worry unnecessarily about estate taxes. We’ll alleviate your concerns and offer targeted advice on reducing your tax exposure.
