Working with people for the last 27 years, I understand the importance of planning! Both my parents lived into their 90's. My Dad had lymphoma and ended up living with us in the last days of his life. My mother had Alzheimer's and had to be put into a nursing home.
It is my passion to help people with their estate, to pass it down exactly as they wish and as tax efficient as possible.
