What Is Estate & Asset Protection Planning?
Estate and asset protection planning is a comprehensive approach to organizing your affairs to:
- Distribute your assets according to your wishes
- Minimize estate taxes and legal complications
- Protect your wealth from long-term care expenses or creditors
- Ensure eligibility for public benefits such as MaineCare (Medicaid)
Our Services Include:
Wills & Trusts
