Estate Planning

Estate planning
Berg & McLaughlin provides a full range of estate planning services.  The term “estate planning” encompasses Last Wills, Living Trusts, Irrevocable Trusts, family partnerships, Medicaid and tax planning, powers of attorney, and even business succession planning.

You may have read or heard the advertisement for Living Trusts that goes something like this: “Avoid the expense and delay of probate with a Living Trust.”  The lawyers at Berg & McLaughlin know that Living Trusts are an expensive estate planning tool that is not for everyone.  That’s why this firm’s lawyers start by listening very carefully to the client and only then construct an estate plan that is both practical and cost effective.  The fact is, most Idahoans can meet their basic estate planning objectives with simple wills and powers of attorney.  For those clients with larger estates, estate tax exposure, blended families, or physically/mentally challenged beneficiaries, Berg & McLaughlin is ready with the experience and appropriate planning tools to provide each client with peace of mind.
