Many times throughout life we find ourselves unsure of the best next step. It might be a life change that comes in many forms , marriage, divorce, illness, issues with children ,from special needs to substance abuse , grandchildren , issues with parents and their aging, concerns within ourselves as to how to best proceed so that we do the right thing in any given circumstance. We want to ensure our own security and usually there is a financial component to life plans, and usually a legal one as well. There could be an imminent life change that only you know about such as ending a marriage , cutting off financial support to a family member, or a medical diagnosis. Many people move through these events in a reactionary mode and many times I hear from clients because there is a crisis. Crisis is emotionally wearing, it upsets the rhythm of your life and it can be expensive. In fact many times it is much more costly than putting a plan in place at a time when life is manageable.
We work with clients that are in all situations in a comprehensive and proactive way. It might be that you need an attorney to talk through your long term financial and care plan who can address today issues and subsequent issues that we can help you anticipate ten or twenty years down the road.
