Simple and Complex Wills

Trusts (Revocable and Irrevocable)

For clients seeking to preserve wealth or manage assets beyond their lifetime, Anthony creates both revocable and irrevocable trusts. These trusts offer flexibility and control over your estate while providing tax benefits and asset protection for your loved ones.

Revocable Trusts

A trust that allows for changes or revocation during your lifetime, giving you control while planning for the future.

Irrevocable Trusts

A trust that locks in your wishes, protecting assets and providing security for beneficiaries, often used for long-term estate preservation.

Codicils and Amendments

When your circumstances change, Anthony assists with the drafting of codicils or amendments to update existing wills and trusts, ensuring they remain aligned with your current wishes and situation.

Transfer on Death (T.O.D.) Deeds

A deed naming who receives real property on the owner's death, with the owner keeping full use and control of it during life. The property passes outside probate without a trust being created to hold it. The signing and witnessing requirements are particular, and the deed has to sit correctly alongside a will or an existing trust rather than contradict one. Anthony prepares and records these and advises on where one fits.
