Protecting You & Your Future: Estate Planning Personalized Plans Tailored to You
You are here: Home / Estate Planning: Personalized Estate Plans

Estate Planning Objectives

At Cane & Boniface P.C., our estate planning objective is to:

  • help you take care of yourself and your loved ones,
  • give what you have to whom you want to have it, and
  • save taxes and fees in the process.

Each estate plan honors your individuality, encourages creative confrontation of mortality and consideration of how to transfer values as well as wealth. Where appropriate, we help you “do well by doing good” through charitable giving.
