Attorney Jessica Powers will discuss the common areas of concern when drafting or revisiting an estate plan. Her approach offers the expertise in both the legal and financial aspect of this important process. If you’ve never done an estate plan, this will show you what a good and thorough one should look like.  If you’ve done an estate plan a long time ago, this will show you what laws have changed.
