About Estate Planning with Rebecca Sommer

Estate Planning is all about you. Through a combination of legal tools, we can put together a plan that will ensure your wishes are followed with your property, your person, and anyone you have legal responsibility for (such as a minor child) in the event you are unable to yourself.

Our services include both revocable and irrevocable trusts with integrated tax planning, power of attorney, advance health care directives, advance dementia directives, HIPAA waivers, and all of the other estate planning tools you may need. We can help you avoid probate, minimize taxes, optimize government benefits (while avoiding clawback from your estate), and ensure your assets are distributed on your terms.

Just turned 18? Now’s a great time to make sure you have medical directives and powers of attorney in place so if something happens, you have someone you trust making medical decisions and/or handling your finances.

Just married? This is a good time to make sure your beneficiaries are updated on any retirement funds or other accounts that permit beneficiary listings as well as setting up a plan to make sure your community and separate property are handled as you wish if something happens.

Just had a child? Make sure that they will be taken care of if anything happens to you by setting up guardians and making sure your assets will be handled the way you want. 

Just retired? Before you take off on that next great vacation, take the time to get a power of attorney in place and a plan for the distribution of your assets in case something happens.
