Estate Planning and Administration
At Santiago Law, LLC, we focus on helping you create a thorough estate plan that articulates your intent and ensures that your loved ones receive the legacy that they deserve, while protecting them from excess taxes.
Wills, Trusts, POAs
Most estate plans should include a last will and testament, as well as a power of attorney. In some cases, a trust may be appropriate. These documents provide many protections as you plan for you and your family’s future.
Advanced Health Care Directives
An advanced healthcare directive is a legal document that lets you state your wishes for medical care, including life-sustaining treatments, in the event you can no longer make your own healthcare decisions due to illness or incapacity.
