Comprehensive estate planning services
EKC provides tailored legal counsel to address your unique needs, helping you overcome the challenges of planning for the future. EKC's services are designed to protect your estate and legacy, ensuring everything you've built is secured for generations to come.
Wills & basic planning
The Last Will and Testament serves as the foundation of any estate plan. Planning will help decide what other documents may be necessary to ensure your wishes are carried our accordingly.
Immediate child protection planning
Most estate plans only focus on what happens after you pass away, but "gap-free" planning starts much sooner. This service provides a legal safety net for the minutes and hours following an emergency. By naming temporary guardians who live locally and providing them with immediate legal authority, you ensure your children are never placed in the care of strangers or protective services while your long-term wishes are being processed.
Revocable Living Trusts
A Living Trust is a powerful tool designed to help your estate avoid the lengthy and public probate process. By placing assets into a trust, you maintain full control during your lifetime while ensuring a seamless transfer to your beneficiaries later. This approach prioritizes privacy, reduces administrative costs, and provides a structured way to manage inheritance over time.
Comprehensive guardianship designations
Choosing who will raise your children to adulthood is one of the most significant decisions you will ever make. This long-term guardianship service goes beyond just naming a name in a Will; it will help you legally document the values, education, and lifestyle you want for your children. EKC guides you through selecting primary and successor guardians, ensuring that if your first choice is unable to serve, there is a clear, path forward.
Creation of various other Trusts
Establish trusts to protect your assets, minimize taxes, and provide for your beneficiaries, offering flexibility and control over your legacy through precise legal structuring.
Healthcare Proxies
Planning for the unexpected is an act of love for your family. By establishing a Healthcare Proxy, you designate a trusted individual to make medical decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so. This service ensures that your personal preferences regarding medical treatment are documented, removing the burden of guesswork from your loved ones during a crisis.
Legacy & values planning
Beyond the transfer of financial wealth, many families wish to pass down their stories, wisdom, and personal values. This holistic service goes beyond the "fine print" to help you document the non-monetary legacy you want to leave behind. It is about ensuring your children and grandchildren understand the "why" behind your life’s work.
Asset protection
Strategically safeguard your hard-earned assets from future uncertainties, ensuring they remain secure for your family's future through diligent estate planning.
Durable Power of Attorney
A Durable Power of Attorney allows you to appoint someone to manage your financial affairs and legal matters should you become incapacitated. Whether it is paying bills, managing real estate, or handling taxes, this designation ensures that your household and business interests continue to run smoothly without the need for a costly, court-mandated guardianship.
Pet Trusts & care instructions
For many, pets are cherished members of the family who deserve a plan of their own. A Pet Trust allows you to designate a caregiver and set aside specific funds for your pet’s needs. Unlike a simple request in a Will, a trust is legally binding, ensuring that your companions continue to live in the comfort they are accustomed to.
More than legal advice, it's compassionate care
Estate planning can be a deeply personal and sensitive process. EKC offers not just legal assistance, but also the compassion and care of an attorney who truly wants the best for you and your family, with a commitment to making you feel at ease and confident every step of the way.
