Estate Planning Attorney, Bill Meengs will help you arrange for the transfer of your property and assets in the most cost-effective and efficient manner while also considering your family dynamics, the nature and amount of your assets, applicable transfer and other potentially applicable taxes.

The specific documents depend on the client’s family, assets, goals and individual considerations.
