Estate Planning & Elder Law

Learn about personalized estate plans and strategies for managing long-term care.

Estate Planning

Estate planning is not limited to the very elderly or the very wealthy. Estate planning is about taking care of children and other dependent family members, planning out personal and financial affairs in case of incapacity, minimizing the potential for legal action, expenses, taxes, invasions of privacy and family discord, and maximizing what is left behind for loved ones. Attorney LoCascio-King provides comprehensive estate planning that is grounded in a thorough understanding of each client’s unique situations. Each plan is personalized and focuses on giving the client peace of mind of knowing that final wishes will be carried out, financial and business matters will be handled, and loved one will be provided for in the event of death or disability.

Estate Planning services include:

  • Prepare last will & testaments, powers of attorney, living wills and advance healthcare directives;
