Estate Planning

Here at GPM we handle a wide array of estate planning services on behalf of our clients, including the following:

  • Wills are probably the most popular estate planning document. Creating a will is paramount to having a comprehensive estate plan, and it is where you can detail what will happen to your assets upon your passing, establish beneficiaries, an executor, and, potentially, guardians.
  • Trusts are estate planning documents that serve a wide array of functions, though they primarily exist to assist those who create them and their families with financial matters, such as saving on taxes when an estate goes through probate.
  • Probate is the process by which an estate is settled. If you are the executor of an estate, it is your job to ensure you meet each probate qualification, such as paying off the decedent’s debts, distributing assets accordingly, and more.
  • Powers of attorney are fantastic ways for individuals to protect their assets and establish their medical wishes, should they ever become incapacitated or otherwise unable to make certain key decisions on their own.
